There are lots happening before the season changes and Autumn, Winter and Christmas is upon us. In the makers world, we think about Christmas in July. Nuts.

To ease you in gently for candle season, I have made candles from our Elements Water collection. The container is cast from Jesmonite AC730, a dense material that feels like stone, the colour shown is called Portland Stone - the same as my popular soap dish with a tray from the water collection.

This one's called Mere, after the old word for a still pond. Lavender and lemon on top, clary sage and neroli underneath. It's the calmest one in the collection. Refills are available too.

I have five candles, one for each element which means you can experiment with your favourite scents according to mood, preference or season :)

If you would like to know more, feel free to contact me for delivery details (I can hand deliver locally) or come and find me at a local market, I have these coming up soon:

The Seaside Siblinghood Fairs this Saturday 19 September. A holistic fair with something for everyone.

Brighton Permaculture Trust is Apple blossom day this Sunday 20 September (a fabulous day out with morris dancers, education and a steel band).

Come join us!

Market days
My favourite days!

I've been looking after the young plum trees planted by Brighton Permaculture Trust in our local park, and learning the ropes of caring for the established apple and pear trees alongside them.

If you fancy getting your hands dirty too, community orchards like this are always looking for more helping hands, no experience needed, just a willingness to learn as you go.

There's an Orchard Day in the works - there'll be an apple pressing machine in action, plus loads to learn about tree care and what it takes to keep a community orchard thriving. Watch this space for dates

Let Brighton Permaculture know if you'd like to get involved with watering, pruning, or just want to know more 🌳 [email protected]

Normally I would stamp my soap bars landscape but as the latest batch of Hinterland soap bars look like one, I might have to do it portrait 🙃

Superfatted with hydrating organic tomato seed oil from food industry waste, combined with the earthy scents of cedarwood, patchouli and resinous frankincense, Hinterland gives you a deeply nourishing and soothing wash with a long lasting aroma. For hands, face and body.

With French rose Clay, French green clay, Kaolin clay and Activated charcoal.
