Back to work

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Just back from a week away in North west Scotland and see that the weather is suddenly looking better. I can’t complain though. We had a few good days when the rest of the country was under cloud. Did a couple of Munros and felt it for the next two days. I think what did it for me was the very steep descent, rather than the fact that I haven’t been hillwalking for years. That’s my story anyway. So topped up with shellfish and fresh air, it’s back to work to see what’s happening in the world of soap. Loads of new ingredients are becoming available, including bamboo oil. This is a very interesting product. It is quite acidic but has skin improving qualities and I don’t know how it would work in soap, but I’d like to get my hands on some to try it.

Looks like the website is nearly ready so hopefully I’ll have good news to report soon. 

Here’s hoping that those of us looking forward to a bank holiday weekend will get some sun.
