You gotta love Instagram! A biosphere of pictures, a world of inspiration, places to see, things to do, a lifetime of experiences to try out and insight into the lives of the millions of people that live on our wonderful planet! I love sharing what I see on Instagram with my sister and friends, as I’m sure you all do too.
The story begins a few weeks ago when I tagged my sister on a photograph I had come across on Instagram. The account, ‘fashion9ds’. It was a photograph of endless purple fields with a blonde woman wearing a purple floaty dress, arms stretched out, butterfly backpack on her back and walking through this stunning fairy-tale pasture.
It was one of the most gorgeous photographs I had ever seen. Firstly, because I’d never seen a real ‘purple’ field. Yes, rapeseed fields galore, but never a lavender one. Secondly, because purple is one of my favourite colours. And thirdly, the photograph depicted tranquillity, peace, calm, spirituality; all the good things that I like to call ‘Soul Food.’ It was visual heaven! It was a visual cupcake, with lots of sprinkles on top!
I remember speaking about it with my sister over the phone and saying: ‘Oh it’s probably such a computer generated image! She’s probably standing in front of a green screen!’ And that ‘nothing real could look that amazing!’ We agreed that a little tech awesomeness had been used to create the image with a spice of Lark, Juno, Crema and Amaro! I wished for it to be real. I wanted to be that girl walking through the dreamlike purple field. If a picture could awaken such desire within my spirit, I couldn’t imagine what the real thing would feel like; if it were real after all. We left the conversation there, full of wonderfulness, hope and craving and because I didn’t think for one, that the field genuinely existed or that two, I could get to a field that actually looked like that!
And then my sister told me three weeks later, on a gorgeous London summer Sunday afternoon that she had a surprise for me. And this is where she and my brother in law took me to…. My Lavender Dream.
WHAT A DREAM COME TRUE! All the quiet research, thinking and planning… Thank you to the best sister in the World, MY sister!
WOW, this is so awesome. Who knew this was in London?! I am so happy to see you live your lavender dream 🙂
