Taking its name from the Latin term, meaning 'let flourish', Floreat is the creation of Anne-Marie Hurst, a qualified medical herbalist. Inspired from the reasoning behind the desire for a glass of wine, Floreat is the perfect drink to enjoy during a spa experience.

The month of July brings with it colour, sunshine and gloriously long, golden days. We are also feeling the heat and with temperatures soaring making work in the garden challenging, early morning starts are the order of the day. There is something very special about the first few hours of the day.

From Lorfords, L-shaped: “July sees Thyme’s kitchen garden bursting at the seams with sweet, plump produce. Thyme’s founder Caryn and her son – Chef Director, Charlie Hibbert are deep in conversation about next year and what they want to add to their wide range of produce in Thyme’s kitchen gardens.”

This week we speak to author, speaker and teacher of transformational energy techniques, Poppy Delbridge, ‘the UK’s leading tapper’ (Evening Standard) who in our next Wellness Wednesday will be taking you through a bespoke guided tapping journey to create a powerful state of wellbeing, self-belief and possibility.

A touch of Spanish Flair for the Orchid House

The bowl shaped ceramics, the ‘fajalauza’, encapsulates the Moorish design and architecture that the city is famous for. Camilla discovered these heavenly hand-painted pieces and thought they would add a touch of beautiful, romantic Spanish design to Thyme’s Orchid House.

Orchids are one of the largest families of flowering plants and are the national flower of many exotic places, from Costa Rica to Guatemala, Singapore to Assam. Their glamorous blooms are brightly coloured and very long living, with bilateral symmetry and a highly modified petal called the labellum or ‘lip.’ The many different varieties are instantly recognisable as an orchid.

Relax, unwind and take a little Thyme. There’s no better place this summer to be than our long awaited Orchid House. This now-open space boasts a sense of tranquility, positioned alongside our spring water swimming pool.

As high summer approaches and the days are warm and long, we can feel midsummer on the horizon. The summer solstice is on the 21st of June, the day when the northern hemisphere is bathed in more sunlight than any other day of the year with the sun highest in the sky. It is the first day of astronomical summer and one for celebration.

The past 18 months have not invited a lot of touch. Quarantined at home and isolated from friends, many people have felt a lack of connection, both emotionally and physically.

Chaired by Fiona McKenzie-Johnston, the panel saw interior designer Bunny Turner, art advisor Rebecca Gordon and gallerist Lyndsey Ingram introduce us to the worlds of art and interiors and talk us through the rules and how to break the, how the two worlds combine in organic, uncontrived ways, and the tricks to merging traditional and contemporary styles. Here are our spark notes.

A delicious pink cocktail, using our freshly laid hen's eggs, whisked to produce this fluffy and enchanting cocktail incorporating homemade infusions and syrups.

We came across amie wine through our friends at Aurelia and got to know the brand story, which immediately resonated with us at Thyme.
