On the Skin So Soft topic - a friend of mine has a bro in law who does mountain rescue - they use it for midge repellent - only thin they have found that works - and if it's good enough for mountain rescue ........ She was there one day when they called for Callum, he ran out to the land rover and someone shouted "Have you got the Skin So Soft?"

On the lamb topic - cute I WANT!

On Avon - yep, it's a midge repellent, horses get doused in it mixed 50:50 with cold tea and 30 drops each of Citronella/tea tree oil added to make a litre. Since we're not allowed most of our citronella fly repellents now thanks to new EU sh...sorry, regulations.
