Provence in Summer!

I’m going to France! Provence, to be specific. I’ll be going in the European summer, specifically so I can visit the flowering fields and distilleries of essential oils, all in the name of research for my next book. Squee! I’m pretty excited.

Lavender fields are one of my favourite places to hang out

I do have a long history of lying down in lavender fields. Here’s a pic my sister snapped in a Tasmanian lavender farm back in 2004, when I was thinner, younger, and apparently wearing some sort of red striped PJs!

My lovely dad is chaperoning me to Provence and we’re planning our itinerary now. If you have any suggestion for fields, farms, flowers and distilleries (or better fashion sense), I’d love to hear them.
