Wow! Whitbarrow wonderfully described Andrew, and definitely a place I would like to adventure to๐Ÿ‘

And Emma, I remember when you pointed out the bog myrtle to us last year. It has such a lovely pungent smell and after years of knowing about its properties of fending off midges (and I think mosquitoes) I finally got to see it! And if the balm works.............๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’š

Again, always a joy to read about your week up northโ˜บ๏ธ

Oooh I'm not sure I've ever paid any attention to bog myrtle. I'll tell my mum too keep an eye out up on Dumfries. Would love to try and make some insect repelling balm.

Definitely worth tracking some down. Let us know if you do make a balm (and if it works!)

Thanks Hadge, beautifully put. Trees have plenty of wisdom to impart if we're only willing to listen. Always bending to whichever way the wind blows here!
