L is for lavender...

It was pure fluke we visited Mayfield lavender farm in Banstead, Surrey today. A gift wrapped letter L post for The Alphabet Photography Project.

Little E loved it. The second we arrive she was off, running through the lanes of lavender. I was navigating the pram and struggled to keep up with her. Great fun despite my streaming, sore eyes. Blasted allergies!

These snaps were taken on my phone but I have hundreds to sort through on the DSLR on various different settings so watch out for a future post.

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous!! I had no idea we had lavender farms in the UK - how ridiculous is that! I thought ppl were off in Provence with all the gorgeous lavender field shots I've been seeing on instagram :-)

This must have been a stunning place to visit!

Thanks for linking with #brilliantblogposts :-)
