Burghley House, Stamford.

Beautiful purple ribbon of lavender. I can almost smell it!
Cheers, Amelia

It did smell amazing :-)) We also visited Heacham, the home of Norfolk Lavender. That is well worth a going to Amelia :)) Cheers, Rosa.

We still have to wait for these beauty's, but I love them very much Rosa!!

Happy weekend to you... Greetz, Christien.

I only have lavender in pots in my garden Christien. Always look forward to them flowering though.
Happy weekend to you too, Rosa.

Have an invite to stay with friends near Stamford some time this year so we might pop in here. Fine shot!

Stamford is beautiful Andy, as is Burghley House. They were filming a Bollywood movie when we visited, so even more exciting, if somewhat unusual ;-))

How beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much.
Best wishes, Rosa.

Beautifully composed.

Thank you for your kind comments.

Lavender at it's best Rosa, the aroma must have been quite heady!!... and they have the table and chairs out for your cuppa and cake!!.... YS.. John.

Thank you Fabio. It was a beautiful part of the garden. There were also deer roaming around the surrounding parkland.
Best wishes, Rosa.

So well photographed, Rosalyn! ***

Thank you Christiane :-)

Love lavender Rosa, reminds me of my grandads garden on canvey island when i was a nipper! very nice image..YS...All the best, Bill.

Pleased to bring back happy memories Bill :)) Thanks for the YS.
All the best, Rosa.

These curves of lavender, at the foot of a charming garden pavilion, are a delight to the eye and certainly to the nose, Rosa!
A delightful composition, really.

Thank you for your kind comment Eric. This photo was taken on the last holiday I had with my mum. There was also a Bollywood film being captured there, which was interesting:-)

So 2 additional memories for you. Including this Bollywood film shooting, surely captivating indeed: despite its kitschiness (or perhaps because of it!), it's a spectacular cinema and very endearing, isn't it? (but I'm talking about films that are over 20 years old, like "Devdas" - I'm pretty sure you know it :-)

I haven't actually seen any Bollywood films Eric, but there were lots of young girls of Indian descent watching proceedings excitedly. They told me they were waiting to get a particular star's autograph. I hope they managed to get it. He looked very handsome from the photos they showed me :-)

I have no doubt about that :-))
Have a lovely day, Rosa.
