Untitled 1 Bastille Day

Well, with all the excitement of the World Cup now over, it’s easy to forget that today, le quatorze Juillet, or Bastille Day as we call it, is a celebration of all things French. And what better way to celebrate than with the best known of French flowers – Lavender. Our 100% organic French lavender soap is something that, once you smell it, you will never want to be with out. Made from the purist organic virgin olive oil you can by and with the addition of French lavender flowers grown in our own garden, it just can’t be beat. But if a soap doesn’t grab you, how about buying some of the organic French lavender essential oil itself. It has many uses, not just to make things smell nice, but even in cooking! It is a great insect deterrent (especially for flies), is wonderful for preventing blisters on burns and is in my view the most useful of all the essential oils to have around the house or workplace for healing. At only £3.50 for 10ml it’s great value. We don’t always see eye to eye with the French, but about lavender I can truly say ”Vive la France!” over a glass of red or white tonight and count my blessings for the oil that has given our business the greatest pleasure imaginable, from growing to making products and in daily use.
