New years resolution - write in diary....
....excuse up until now - toddler + working all the hours that god sends can make even the simplest of tasks - (ie keeping up to date with a blog) almost impossible. But now that our little boss is able to talk, imitate and tell us what to do...he's become far far less demanding.....
So where to start - another fantastic year on the farm. The lavender is getting bigger and in getting big we're getting more and more visitors so a big thank you for all your support. We'll be open again in the spring but if you can't wait that long to buy any of our products then check the website , Body butters and Noel's hand sewn Wheat bags have been selling very hotly over the festive period.
Noel, myself and Camilo have just got back after a fantastic break in Argentina where we spent a month celebrating Cami's 2nd birthday and Christmas with the other half of our family and already can't wait for their visit here in the summer! we miss you loads. We got back and noticed that we're still in Autumn... what happened to Winter, or is that tempting fate. The plants are doing well in the polytunnel and March time we'll begin to plant a load of them in the smaller field (about an acre) using 50 or so different varieties. It will take three years to reach it's maximum potential but will be well on its way by next Spring and there should be some great signs of what's ahead even by the end of the 2012 season.
Here are some photos of us from the Summer
Hola gente,
Disculpas por no escribir por tantos meses.... la razón - bebe mas trabajo = muy poco tiempo. Pero, ahora que el Jefecito ya puede hablar, imitar, y dar ordenes... - es mucho mas fácil!!!
2011 fue un ano muy bueno por la lavanda. La atracción crece cada ano y trae mas visitantes - una gracias enorme por el apoyo de todos. Abrimos el galpón en la primavera (Avril/Mayo) - pero si ustedes quieren buscar y comprar por la web, visitanos . Vendimos mucha de la Crema del Cuerpo 'Body butter' y de La Bolsa de Trigo y Lavanda (que puede calentar en la microwanda) 'Wheat bags' - que la cosieron Noel - por las fiestas.
Con Noel y Camilo pasamos el segundo cumple del Reycito y una Navidad buenisima en La Argentina con la mitad de nuestra familia - gracias por todo, genial. No podemos esperar por la visita de ellos en verano, los extrañamos un montón! Cuando volvimos todavía Inglaterra estaba en Otoño..... Las plantitas van re bien en el inverdadero y en Marzo vamos a plantar un acre de approx 50 variedades. Tarden mas o menus 3 anos para alcanzar la potencial pero esperamos buenos signos antes del fin de este temporada..
Suerte y que tengan un muy buen ano!
