capturing memories as we make them
It was infact the the name ‘Running In Lavender‘ that first got me looking at the fabulous blog written by Heledd, as the lavender fields are so close to where we live to.
We always take hundreds of photos when we visit and I am finding it hard to chose some to put up as my ‘Captured Moment’ this week!
I will apologise now for the photo spam in this post, but I took so many pictures it was hard to chose my favourites.
For the past few years I have dressed my brood up in white and taken the short trip to the stunning Mayfield Lavender fields to take in their splender whilst taking some great shots.
Even though I have driven past these fields countless times over the years I am still taken back by there beauty every year.
The children still get exited to run up and down the long pathways peeping over at each other as they go.
The fields are located just outside the town of Banstead in Surrey. There is a small charge of a pound per person and there is ample parking; but be warned they are a real crowd puller and it gets very busy.
They have added a tractor ride this year which I should imagine is great but unfortunately we got there to early and couldn’t wait for the first trip out of the day.
We finished our trip off today by getting some freshly cut lavender that we are going to use in our lavender playdough making this week.
There is also a coffee shop serving a small range of hot and cold food. Our relaxing coffee was cut short by poor number five getting a wasp sting to his face!!
We will be making a trip back soon to give the tractor ride a go!
