Christmas is here!
Ha! Just kidding, but it got your attention now didn’t it! Actually I was rather shocked when I walked through Selfridges a couple for weeks ago – yes, that’s right it was still August… and they had an entire room dedicated to Christmas decorations! It was but a few days later that I got a rather large order for my Christmas Spirit – our signature Christmas blend, and as I had none left I set to blending some more. There I was in shorts and T shirt, 36 degrees up here in the Tuscan hills, looking at over the bright blue sky and rolling green hills, mixing frankincense and bay with sweet orange and carefully adding in all the other lovely ingredients that make up one of my all time favourite blends. When I went back down I gave everyone a good sniff and they closed their eyes and went aaahhh Christmas. You see you don’t need sleigh bells and frosty landscapes to revitalise Christmas, it is all in the smell!!
