While away, the lady running our Gite showed me how to make soap It was all very scientific with careful measuring of oils, caustic soda, essential oils and so on. Great fun though and I made a batch of lavender and rosemary soap. I have to leave it to mature for another couple of weeks, but it's lovely. I shall have to have a go at home now and I am also planning on making some Rose Water soon as my Apothecary rose bushes have lots of buds on them

Oh that sounds really interesting - I adore the smell of lavender.

Let us know how your Rose Water turns out please.

What a lovely thing to learn Loz, and lavender and rosemary sounds gorgeous

In our cloakroom I have some handmade goats' milk soap, can't remember the flavour but it smells lovely

Oh wow that does sound nice I grow lavender and rosemary, and love the smell

One of the nicest things about Corfu, and all the little shops there, is the olive oil soap They add lavender, aloe, rosemary, rose - all sorts really, but my favourite is the pure olive oil one So moisturising, and I bring it home for presents as well as personal use

I'm sure yours will be lovely Loz

Di I am still drinking goats milk It definitely agrees with my tum more than cows milk does

I use so little milk it doesn't matter

How lovely Loz! I love the sound of the lavendar and rosemary soap!
I like to use nice soaps in the shower rather than shower gels.
