Elif and I went to Isparta this week to visit one of world's largest rose oil producing factories. I will soon write a full post on this very interesting place, it's products and the people. But for now I just want to share with you all the joy of picking and smelling the roses and playing in a bed of millions of pink perfumed petals, feeling like a kid again myself. I'm sure le bebe was having a good time him/her self, hearing mommy laughing so much and playing around like that.
Seize of the baby: 22 cm. About the seize of a heirloom tomatoe, or like a handful of rose buds:)
Symptoms: happy. happy. happy.
I did feel very dizzy in the morning on the rose field. We got up at 5:45. I guess the short night sleep in combination with the strong perfume of the roses and the sunshine warming up rapidly on the field was a bit too much. But soon it passed and we had an amazing afternoon, touring the factory and playing in a kingsize bed of a million rose petals especially prepared just for us. It's been so much fun and a great experience, we learned so much about this pricy rose oil production.
Thoughts: We are surrounded by love and perfection. Just take a look at a single rose.. the color, the shape, the smell, the texture.. it's so totally and utterly perfect. Flower of the lovers. Symbol of eternal beauty and purity.
Another happy moment this week: getting a layered cake of diapers, with sweet little presents hidden inside, from our loyal guests at the restaurant. Bets, Herman and Adri visit us every year for three weeks and now go by the name mom and dad, as the guys like to call them. They are a part of our restaurant family.
