Farmer Charlie Byrd harvests lavender at his farm in Snowshill, Gloucestershire. The annual harvest of the fragrant crop, which is processed on site to extract it's oil, is determined by the weather - requiring dry conditions. The temperamental conditions this summer have forced the farm to maximum harvesting during sunny periods, with all the crops to be harvested by Friday. Photo by Adam Gasson
