A couple in Kent have turned their hop farm into a lavender paradise – and have perfected the use of the herb in the kitchen, too.
Twelve years ago, William and Caroline Alexander, who own the 17th-century Castle Farm, decided to devote 55 of their 1,200 acres of mixed arable farm to lavender. It is now one of the largest lavender farms in the country, and one which oddly has a particular appeal for the Japanese, who obviously view the eight weeks when the lavender is in flower as an extension of cherry blossom viewing. 'One family took a taxi all the way here from Heathrow, and asked where they could leave their suitcases,' Caroline tells me.

Marshall ordered an ice-cream but left in a huff before the waiter dished it up, Smile woofed down the chicken but showed no appetite for the wholesome carrots and apple left on his plate.
Arthur actually pooped right by the table.
In no time, his brown leftover had attracted two hungry customers who licked and digested it without fuss, while tiny Elliot then breached every rule of dining etiquette by scrambling atop a table to tuck into his hamburger.
Welcome to Belgium's new dog bar!
"Dogs don't have the same taste-buds," said restaurateur Bernard Schol.
