The lavender fields are truly evocative .
Just like Suresh Singh’s book “A modest living “ which is grand.

I lived in Mitcham Surrey during the early 1960s which is where I went to Senior School. Mitcham was once famous for its Lavender, reflected in our home address which was no.1 Lavender Grove, a cul-de-sac which led off from Lavender Avenue. My mother, who was the gardener of the family, planted a border of scented lavender alongside the path leading to our front door. I love Lavender to this day and have several varieties in my current garden, including a white one.

Lovely, thanks! I remember reading somewhere that the picture on the Yardley’s tin originally showed a primrose seller, but was altered for the purpose?

I do like visiting Mayfield Lavender; such a lovely place and so calming walking through the rows of those beautiful flowers.
