The very definition of a ‘short supply chain’:  Stunning geraniums from a local gardener to give us some colour at home this summer and delicious fresh asparagus from a farm 15km from where we live.  A quick haul before VE Day remembrance service last Sunday.

Dessange shampoo label on Yuka app

Yuka app turned up this worrying result whilst I was doing a bit of research into hair shampoos.  If they’re correct it shouldn’t be on the shelves of our local supermarket.

This doesn’t look like something that should be put anywhere near our bodies.

Yuka app ingredient list for Dessange shampoo

An internet search on returning home did not list it as a current ingredient.  Old stock?  Hope so, still, it has no place on our shelves.

Do ‘label-check’ – there are many more healthier alternatives out there.

As a girlfriend said to me a few years ago: ‘What goes on, goes in’.  Our skin is our body’s largest organ after all.


Bastet Cafe Albi signage and a cat

There’s a first time for everything and here’s my first time in a Cat Café!  

I’m really not a ‘cat person’, but this little lady made me smile.

So calming and relaxing, she sat with me whilst I enjoyed a catch up with a dear friend, a cup of green tea with rose leaves (delicious) and a slice of homemade raspberry cake.

That’s what Saturdays are for and these Cat Cafe’s could be great for our mental health.  Worked in soothing me!


Bread Source shopfront

Delighted to see the local bakery we featured on last week’s blog growing.

Locally sourced and made, from high quality ingredients.  Way to go!


Too Good to Go food app

A friend in Bristol, UK told me about this clever app that saves food waste.

You can reserve a food package, at a discount price and collect within a several hour time slot.

Food’s not wasted, the company gets something for it (and the satisfaction that it’s not being wasted) and you pick up a bargain.

With a claim that a third of all food is wasted, this has to be a step in the right direction.

Win – win – win.


How stunning in their simplicity are these arum lillies from a friend's garden.  I'd taken her for a scan and she wanted to say thank you.  Bartering is alive and well.

Deborah James, Bowel Babe

Deborah James, aka The Bowel Babe has been a very public warrior since her diagnosis of bowel cancer 5 years ago.  

Her You, Me and the Big C podcast was one of the first cancer related offerings that helps and supports so many.

As Deborah’s treatment options have been stopped, she is in hospice care, surrounded by family and friends.

Rest well dear lady.


Spring has definitely sprung and as we celebrate new life all around us I took a moment of reflection to remember those locals who gave their lives for our freedom.  VE Day in Europe.
