A new Lavender field to visit. Warwickshire Lavender Fields is behind Coventry airport nestled in the beautiful countryside that remains between Coventry and Leamington Spa. The fields are relatively young and started out in 2016. Several photographic friends has told me about the fields and having done the Cotswolds Lavender fields, the family thought a fields closer to home would be worth a visit.
The day we chose was one of sunshine and showers. The showers when they arrived were wet and windy. This did not stop us having great fun at the fields. I understand that before we got there my oldest daughter had excelled at falling down a hole much to the amusement of the grandchildren. When we arrived the heavens opened, and we got soaked. However the rain did clear the fields, and everyone made for shelter. Although my camera was under threat from the rain, there were some wonderful photographic opportunities as people were crowded into the tents. Even Lily came along to pose in front of the tents. The children had such fun even though they got very wet. The café served great coffee and lovely cakes and the shop offered a range of lavender products including bunches of lavender flowers.
Whilst a bit of sunshine would have made the visit, we still enjoyed ourselves. We set off home for a change of clothes and to share photographs of the day. Well worth a visit and a very photogenic site for all photographers out there.
