This week I went to Bedford for a picnic with some lovely bloggers and their families. As the route went vaguely near Hitchin I took the opportunity to stop off at Hitchin Lavender. I follow them on facebook so I knew that not only do they have a field of beautiful purple lavender, but their sunflowers were in full bloom. The weather was beautiful and it was lovely walking through the flowers and spotting all the different types of bee. I spent longer than planned wandering around and ended up late to the picnic. It was worth it though.
