Lavandula Lavender Farm

Whilst in Daylesford after Christmas, we were out getting a coffee and decided to drive a little further down the road when I saw a sign about a Lavender Farm. I screamed out “LEFT, GO LEFT!!!”, nearly killing us in the process as The Husband quickly maneuvered left, not knowing what I was screaming about and possibly thinking that this screaming was about something important...

After I explained to him that there was a Lavender farm, and demanded to see it, we drove about 1km down the road, didn’t see anything and turned back. When we passed the sign again I whined ‘but I loveeeee lavender!!!” and The Husband turned the car around once again with a sigh and rolling his eyes, and we went a little further and discovered a sign saying it was 5km away. Hurrah, it did exist!!

And exist it did…. I cant believe I had never even heard about it! Where have I been? Had I have booked the little getaway I probably would have stumbled across it in my travels but I had nothing to do with booking it so it was a pleasant surprise.

When we pulled up we saw how busy the car park was and were further intrigued.
What mystical things were living in this Lavender farm for so many people to be visiting! 
 For $3.50 per adult, you are permitted into this beautiful Lavender Farm, but watch the damn bees, they are everywhere!!

All of these photos were taken on my still broken iPhone but on my camera there is a photo of me near the Geese looking scared shitless. I remember my namesake auntie had geese when I was about 5 and they are not the kind of animal that like to be patted, believe me. I found out the hard way. Vicious little things.

Usually I like to wear clothes that are in the same theme as where we are going, so I would have picked a cute summer dress but as we were just ducking out for coffee I had on my Target dress which has completely lost its shape. I didn’t even have make up on so sorry if I break your monitors!! I take no responsibility.  

I'm not going to lie to you though, this was hell for The Husband who has terrible hay fever. Poor guy.

The gift shop was even worse as the lavender scent is so over powering.

Look closely and see the bees. Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the Lavender Champagne though, to me it was a tad chalky. The ice cream was great though.

Hi.

More on our little Daylesford get away to come. As soon as my Internet stops being so painful.

The café there has everything infused with Lavender, so whilst I was snaring us a great table under a tree offering lots of shade, The Husband ventured into the café on his own to order, which usually means we will have way too much food, and he had ordered the ice cream, champagne, scones and an avocado and chicken grilled sandwich.
My stomach is going insane just thinking abouttttttttttttttt – oh sorry, I accidentally pressed the T button down whilst mopping up my saliva from the keyboard.

We had a really sweet time just wandering around, taking in the beautiful scenery. It was such a calm and chilled day for us after the hustle of Christmas. Who would have thought that Lavender would have such an effect?
