Funny thing, lavender was always a sort of a granny thing when I was younger, and suddenly, I get it. Must be because I'm of the granny age myself now.
Don't you mean totes chillaxballs*[grin|!!! *grannyknot Nothing wrong with aromatherapy I was " head down, tail up" weeding the border last summer and wondered why it was so pleasant and relaxing? Then I realised I had my head virtually in the lavender which was why I felt so relaxed!!
feetle call it what you will, but I love my peaceful-sleep-inducing lavender essential oil, starting with a few drops in a relaxing bath, and also sprinkled on my pillow.
Brenda my dad was also fond of liberating supplies when he was Sgt of the Stores,I remember a delivery of Corn Flakes (out of date mind) ? coming to our house in a LandRover from the base not your everyday box but massive plastic type bags of the stuff we had it for about 18mths I think,I hate Corn Flakes with a vengence to this day.sorry off topic.
I have a lovely story about Ex-Lax. After the war my father went to the local American transit base to liberate a stainless steel sink. In a cupboard he found a box of chocolate squares. Chocolate had not been seen for years so all the family indulged......to find out next day it was ExLax!
