I enjoy pausing to remember, and I love reading of the things that touch others. You would, too - why not sign up? Details are at the end of this post.
Today, I'm celebrating the fact that I have enjoyed one of the great sensual pleasures of life: lavender.
Some day I will visit Provence. I had a calendar of photographs taken there, with one that touched me especially. It depicted lavender fields.
Today, since I could not stroll, myself, through those intoxicatingly scented fields, I indulged in a lavender-scented shower courtesy of the British soap and toiletries-maker, Asquith & Somerset:
Warm-to-hot water cascading off my shoulders, a scrub brush loaded with this deliciously-scented soap in a pretty bottle - just wonderful!
...if I raise my wrist to my nose, I can catch the faint, lovely scent.
And now I am ready to start the day! (Which, incidentally, is a Friday!)
Lavender is one of the most soothing scents. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteWow that's a beautiful picture of the lavender field... and now I can so smell that delicious scent too, sigh...
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! Enjoy the weekend ;)
Oh what an AMAZING picture. Now I am imagining lavender ahhhhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteI love lavender, Diana. Have you ever read the book A Year in Provence? It's very good.
ReplyDeleteHi Diana .. I saw they have lavender fields and centres in Norfolk when I was up there this year - and must definitely go and pay a visit next year ...
ReplyDeleteLove looking at all the photos of the lavender fields ... while it always seems strange to remember there were lavender fields in south-west London, before it was urbanised ... in the 1500s ...
Lovely small celebrations post .. cheers Hilary
