But I'll be very grateful for the Baume. The French Chemist in Jersey that used to sell it has disappeared. -- Sacha Isn't this email stuff? Kindest possible regards Mike Mike, don't you realise just how silly and childish your comments sound? You are never going to upset Sacha by jumping in after her posts, all you do is make yourself look foolish. For Pete's sake, grow up! So how do YOU differentiate between chit chat which should be email and genuine postings? Kindly explain Kindest regards You don't you just ignore them. and putting "Kindest regards" after these sorts of postings just makes it sound like some petulant teenager has forgotten to take their medication, I realise that as you appear to not like Sacha that it is probably intended to be irratating but it irratates the hell out of most other people as well. Rather like our american cousins wishing you a nice day in a tone of voice that suggests they hope you end up under a bus -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

Judith I'll have one of those, please. *;-) *My favourite scent is Diorissimo - probably because I can't grow Lily of the Valley! *Must be a subliminal form of compensation. Someone living not too far from from us - Cath Collins - makes gorgeous perfumes scented with things like Ginger Lily, Lime, Lemon, Cedar and again, it's like walking through a garden to wear her perfumes. *A friend of mine who hasn't been able to wear perfume for years because of allergies, finds she can wear Cath Collins's and Jo Malone's stuff. -- Sachahttp://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' We have all those lovely ginger ones too, a nice light fragrance for during the day - at night out comes the Chanel. I wonder what flower essence makes that, cedar and spices and which flowers?

None. There's not one once of flower essence in Chanel - it's 80 different synthetic ingredients (because they last longer) devised by Gabrielle, later called Coco because she sang the song Cocorico (my grand ma sang it). |
