A day trip with the ‘in-laws’ had us visiting Yorkshire Lavender in Terrington, York. It is as described on the tin; a place dedicated to Lavender. The owners also have a good sense of humour and an eye for tasteful detail as I was impressed with the landscaping and information provided. Apparently you have to prune Lavender once a year on the 15th September between 10am and 11am only.

Spending far too much money in the shop it was a quick but pleasant visit. Note to others who fall for the sales material that says rubbing pure Essence of Lavender on the soles of your feet will help you sleep. I don’t remember my head hitting the pillow and 10 hours later I woke up as bright as a daisy!

Check it out and leave us a comment if it works for you.
