Lavender Fields Forever

And #WowOnWednesday

Dear friends. I've always wanted to walk in a lavender field, and managed to achieve my ambition last week.  It was in England (yes!)  at the organic Mayfield family lavender business in Surrey.

The weather was a bit cloudy at the time so it probably wasn't the sensory experience as it might have been in France, where I imagine there is probably a lovely scent of lavender on the air. 

I went with a Meetup and unfortunately it was a bit of a rush through the lavender as we still had five and a half miles to go. I didn't even get chance to look in the shop - can you imagine!! 

I asked someone else to take my picture and unfortunately they only took one photo (above) and my eyes are looking down, but at least it shows the lavender.  My necklace needed turning over too - aargh. You can see it better in the picture near the bottom. 

As I write, I'm having quite a bad case of Covid, although I'm still testing negative.  I'm convinced I have it because I've lost my senses of smell and taste.  It's worst than the first bout I had, in March. I don't know if Delta is still doing the rounds, but my symptoms are closer to that. Of course it's now nearly seven months since the last vaccination.

The most worrying thing is that we're off to Greece on Friday. I will be fully recovered by then but am worried that the hubster may succumb, given how virulent this version of Covid is. It would be terrible to have to cancel the holiday we've been waiting for for three years. 

I'd already been thinking it would be a miracle if we actually get there, with all the problems at the airports with a shortage of baggage handlers,  and flights being cancelled. 

But I'm still living in hope and assuming we will be in Greece soon. I'm about to start my pre-packing routine. 

I usually write some blog posts in advance and schedule them but thanks to Covid I only have one post ready, so there will probably not be a link-up next week. I'm sure you'll forgive me for one week. 

The shorts above and in the lavender field are new from Roman. They're a great length. I'm wearing them with a teal v necked top - one of my favourite colours. I'm enjoying wearing my blues at the moment. I find I have periods where I'm constantly wearing one color, and then I switch to another.  Do you have favourites which change every few months?  Let me know in the comments.
