It was always a beautiful sunny day and it’s time to relax and enjoy myself at this terrific place called park. I took a seat on that wooden bench for a couple of times. It’s cool while you are sitting there and take some time to look at those flowers and birds feeding off things grown in the garden. Yeah, it’s really relaxing and it can even change your emotional state. When I’m in the parks or gardens, it means I’m close to nature and plants and in my own experienced they gave me a peaceful feeling. That’s why, I’m dreaming of someday I’ll be having my own beautiful garden of flowers, vegetables, herbs and other medicinal plants. I want gardening to be a daily part of my life with that wooden bench I’m happy to sit with my husband and little tykes…

I love using Lavender in aromatherapy. Research has confirmed that lavender produces slight calming, soothing, and sedative effects when its scent is inhaled. I also enjoy its fragrance. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) yields an essential oil with sweet overtones, and can be used in balms, salves, perfumes, cosmetics, and topical applications. In addition to that, Lavender flavors baked goods and desserts (it pairs especially well with chocolate), as well as used to make “lavender sugar”. Lavender flowers are occasionally blended with black, green, or herbal tea, adding a fresh, relaxing scent and flavor.

The above photos were taken at different parts of United Kingdom. Lavender flower is in bloom from the middle of June until the end of August. I can’t wait to visit and see some of the famous Lavender field or enjoy a fantastic day out at Norfolk Lavender.
