Sunday 7 September - Ian and I decided to take a break from moving (we are leaving university housing and moving to a private flat) and took advantage of having rented a car to go outside the city. It took us longer than expected to leave the city because of major traffic issues, however, we finally made it out into the countryside. We went to visit a lavender farm not far outside Bath. We drove through some very quaint and historic towns including Norton St. philips which had an amazing 14th century Inn. We got lost a few times trying to navigate the tiny unmarked back roads but finally made it to the farm. We walked around the fields which had already been mostly cut back but which were nestled in some lovely countryside and so still enjoyable. We also walked through the display garden which held about 10-12 varieties of lavender still in bloom. I bought a pot of Princess blue lavender to put out on our new balcony and remember the trip by.
