It's been a long cold winter here on the Isle of Skye. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to summer this year, the feeling of that lovely warmth on my face is a welcoming thought, seeing flowers in full bloom and wildlife busy doing what it does best.

I'm hoping that the new British wildflower seeds that have been sent out with the recent orders, will also help the bees and insects too, and I would be so grateful if you are able to send pictures of these once they are in bloom and if you catch a bee enjoying the pollen that would be wonderful. You can email them to me [email protected]

Also, in the spirit of positive thinking and to let the sun know that the Isle of Skye would appreciate a good show in this year I've added a 15% discount code to the website (off the whole range), which is available until Monday 8th May. Simply enter Sunshine15 in the coupon section at the checkout.

Also, the following soaps are back in stock; Clean & Pure, Joyful, Nostalgia and Skye Breeze.
