When my kids were young I used Lavender essence to help heal minor burns, cuts and scraps, and a few drops on their mattress or pillows to help them sleep. Now I live in Le Morvan, deep in rural Burgundy and my neighbour and friend Betti gave me bags of her lavender. I spent hours picking the lavender seeds and made bird shaped lavender sacs. I found the process therapeutic and really enjoyable. <br />Delia Bournehttp://moncoeurestdanslacampagne.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-77890542017311481462012-10-16T21:54:56.201+02:002012-10-16T21:54:56.201+02:00Loved your photos of the Lavender in Luberon.

It made me take a look through my photo files from 2 yrs ago when I was in the Luberon standing in the lavender fields ( look at my profile picture ) I relived my holiday all over again. Your lovely dog looks as if he is enjoying the perfume coming from the lavender.

Traditionally, lavender is cut, then dried before being distilled in what is called a lambic--and before that there was the "enfleurage" process where the flowers were embedded in animal fat which pulled out the essence! <br /><br />And the terrain is very, very rocky. The earth is a rich orange brown. Such "terroir" really is behind the particularities of many of the products of the region--more on which soon!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by with all you are doing!

Was his nose twitching?<br /><br />What is the ground cover used in the field you showed? It looks almost like large wood chips.<br /><br />I'd be the first to buy a calendar of Ben photographs.

I have an affinity for everything lavender.

Must have happened overnight! And these photographs were a month ago? So then, at any time, it appears, this wonderfully scented plant must wave its little purple flowers somewhere in the globe. <br /><br />Does Remi use the leaves, rather than the flowers, in his cooking? <br /><br />Big hugs from Spring World to Autumn World. xx Glamour Dropshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651174250292927988noreply@blogger.com
