Lavender

I'm struggling to sleep at the moment, I'm overtired when I go to bed as I always get distracted with more things to do and then when I do go to sleep I wake up too early (mainly due to having thin blinds).

One thing that does help me is my lavender oil that I have to rub into my temples, quite often I'll use this and the scent will help me relax and drift off.

I did have a lovely lavender in the garden last year but it didn't survive the nasty winter, so at the weekend I got a new one, one of the butterfly variety and within minutes of having placed it on the patio it had a bumble bee on it. I'll be sure to take this one inside if we get more snow this next year like we did last winter.
