Maybe we could take a little trip there one morning if DS was agreeable. They have demo soap bars next to the colours so you can see what they turn out like using different quantities. Its nice to be able to smell the fragrances as well.

I must do some more research as I have lavender growing. I was going to pick and dry some nettles today but it has been raining lightly so will wait till we are back to the sunny weather again before doing so. It is all a bit of trial and error.
