Fresh lavender - where can I buy some

[Marggie]

When I was younger I always thought lavender was for old ladies!!!!  Of course, I'm an old lady myself now and have discovered that it is lovely.  For my birthday last year one of my friends bought me one of these lavender reed diffusers - absolutely gorgeous - I have been out and bought more.  All these years I deprived myself, well you live and learn.

What is a lavender reed diffuser Marggie?

Pi55y told me that it was £9.99 for an incy wincy pack of lavender in the UK so definitely significantly cheaper here.

Nichola, It is bottle partially filled with lavender oil with about a dozen reeds in it, they soak up the oil and give off the scent.

All the candle people have them, as do Marks, Next and a whole host of shops.

Lavender is particularly helpful for Insomnia, Lavender bag, (small otherwise overpowering)
placed under a pillow or between two pillows if you are filthy rich like me and can offord to sleep on two   then the top one turned over, have a calming effect and can help relax you.

Usualy of course by bedtime I am semi conscious from Aperitif, Wine and Digestive but the Memsahib swears by it, or was it at me? never sure
