I put wellies of to pick blackberries and didn't get my body near to the bush as I read that mites like it around blackberries. I must have looked stupid in wellies!

A cream and an oil, Avon changed whatever it was that kept midge at bay in the cream which was a bit of a shame because it wasn't very greasy. Last year we bought the body oil because the grapevine told us that IT retained the secret ingredients that made it so effective that the Army guys were using it but I can't cope with that oil on me.
Pink is new blokes colour.
Just as I posted this I had an update, early this year we bought Skin-So-Soft oil that had again been modified to reduce the oil-y-ness. It's called, "Soft-And-Fresh". Thats what we use on Tiree and parts of the mainland earlier this year.
