    Not summer pics but even though it is autumn we still have a bit of (untidy) colour. image

    I just sell it dried, Lily. (Besides, my Dr is on to me with sugar and insists on blood tests before every visit). Scare tactics! I know, but it's working.

    I make little flat bags and market them as "sleep  pillow inserts" which really do work when you place them inside your pillow slips. Sleep like a baby. Speaking of which, it's now after 12.30am and I am ready for sleep..image

     Blenheim Palace earlier this year.

    I didn't realise the palace was so huge. Lovely photo. 

    Gertie, the frame I hung the lavender on is just an airing thingie for your washing when you need to finish drying your clothes inside. I bought it from a hardware store. It's just the right size for shirts, so works well for the lavender.

    morning all.

    You're very welcome, Gertie. Be warned that you will probably have the lavender hanging around for  three months - not always welcome if you dont have an airy spare room. You need to make sure that it is really dry before storing it away or it'll get mouldy.
