Lavender Planting

Today Stewart and I tidied the front driveway and moved what seemed tons of gravel. The driveway needed a new protective membrane to stop the weeds!

I also planted on at least 70 of my Lavender plants into the next size pots. This was a lovely job to do in contrast to the gravel! The original plants came from Norfolk Lavender see their website at

www.norfolk-lavender.co.uk

I will plant out some, Mum will have some and the rest I will put on my stalls.

I just love this video of the harvesting of the lavender and look forward to more of that this year. They make it look so easy! I am not going to use shears anymore!

You can see all the process at Norfolk Lavender and they have their festival in July, a great day out!

Enjoy this video.

Norfolk Lavender

With finishing the top of the Seaside Single Quilt

I realised I hadn't got any backing fabric,

large enough or even vaguely nautical.

So how nice a trip to Hunstanton and

Sian's fabric shop. Twice in the same month

very unlike me. I normally go about once every three!

Well i found the backing and brought enough

wadding to make enough quilts for a whole exhibition.

On the way home we stopped into 'Norfolk Lavender'

for a cup of tea and a wander round,

it always smells wonderful.

The farm shop is such an inspiration for cooking.

have a look at their website

you can almost smell the lavender where ever you are in the world.
