Newsletter November / December 2009 We are now settled in Devon, between Totness and Ivybridge, in beautiful rolling countryside, a short-distance away from both the moors and the beach. The view is beautiful whether the sun shines or it rains. The peace is hard to believe after the hustle and bustle of London Life - no more planes or the sound of heavy traffic but the air echoing with the sounds of a rich wild life. We moved into our new house whilst a couple of swallows were bringing up their young's in a nest they had built under the bathroom window. Here are 2 of the youngsters on their first outing, 50 cm away from the safety of their nest. They waited all day, perched on the wire, for their parents to return with their beak full of juicy insects! The two adults did not stop a second flying back and fro, feeding their babies in mid-air not to waste any useful time! Many of you have been waiting for our most recent newsletter. It has been a busy few weeks sorting out the stock, finding a place for everything and getting used to our new way of life. Among all this, we have not forgetten to expand on our research and are pleased to introduce a new essential oil.

It has many useful therapeutic properties and helps with conditions involving the respiratory tract, nervous tension, rheumatism and sluggish digestion. it is also prized to improve skin conditions such as dryness, inflammation, wrinkles and scarring.
