The Upside of Spring

No, spring really is a wonderful time of the year, the boy's shorts not withstanding, and here is some proof of that.

We have a small grove of 20 or 30 lilac bushes, that for a brief moment, just a couple of weeks, are a riot of colour and scent. Almost overwhelming ...

On a quiet Sunday last week, we took the opportunity to bottle a little more of our lavender oil (distilled earlier in the year). Our lavender is in demand from some discerning luxe spa hotels ... if you visit Songbirds on the Gold Coast for instance, they might give you a bottle. If you are very good.

Alternatively, if you visit us here at the cellar door, just ask. Very reasonably priced. Friends all over the world have become almost addicted to our lavender, and swear it helps in all sorts of ways – sleep, healing of cuts and burns, romantic encounters and so on.

Speaking of  the cellar door, our next MAXiMOViE microdoodle takes you there. Critics, sharpen your pencils. Next weekend ...
