It's so messy...why it happens, I don't know, but I do know that if you buy it a few weeks/months before you need it, it stays firm when you come to use it....my mother used to keep the soap (and it was always Camay) in the airing cupboard, where it perfumed all the bedlinen... I keep mine in my chest of drawers and do the same with empty perfume bottles while there's still any lingering fragrance. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

I'll have to go back and check the dates! I'm going to contact Cormaic and see if they will be able to come. I haven't seen anything from Cormaic for ages, is he still OK? Alan |

He's extremely busy with the family business and had a family bereavement just before Christmas. I just don't think he has time to 'do' urg as well as everything else. In fact, I see that I proposed July 7th or 8th for a meet here. If people could give some indication on group as to whether they can manage that, it would help us plan here. Because it's a long trip for most and you might make a long week end of it, we don't expect any food contributions but will gladly supply lunch on one of those days. For general info, we're about one hour from the Eden Project, slightly less from The Garden House, 40 minutes or so from Torquay and Dartmouth (traffic dependent) and probably just over the hour from Rosemoor. From here and over the sheep grid onto the outskirts of Dartmoor must be all of 12 minutes. There is a large number of b&b's in this area which I can give info on to those who want it. Our nearest railway station is Totnes. I recall that there was some talk of going to Charlie's on one of those days, too. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

Almond oil is a great carrier for other oils that are too strong to use by themselves i.e. lavender oil. I can remember a very small onion, like a cocktail onion, being boiled and the very small kernel in the centre being put into my ear for earache - I have never heard that from anyone else so I don't know if that was just Granny's solution or if others used it. JudithL When I was in Sicily, I was told that on the wedding night a couple would have a small bottle of olive oil placed on the table next to the bed. I don't know if it was extra-virgin olive oil. Well, you did ask for other uses for olive oil. |
