Its hard without a car but there are lots of places to go and check out on the bus and train @StuF I used to do plenty of activities when I was younger but nowadays just prefer being a bit of a hermit. Wanted to check out a local farm that produces an indigenous herb that has been used for a variety of applications as a cream.
I found out the market was bigger in the USA even though its an Australian plant based cream. So a big export.
Its meant to be good for people like air hostesses who have dehydrated skin in plane cabins as well as multiple skin conditions that won't shift with pharmaceutical preparations.
Nobody knows the farm is there its just a nondescript place in the middle of nowhere that cultivates these plants that have been traditionally used by aboriginal people.
Would love to go there and talk to the horticulturalist and see if you could grow your own plants and make your own cream.
I had a herbalist friend who used to make a beautiful cream out of rose petals and wax. It was a beautiful smelling radiant cream! She told me she had a model that used to buy her cream so I got some! 🙂
She used to sell at markets and her well manicured English garden was beautiful. She used to make teas, tinctures and all kinds of things. She used to keep her customer purchases in a glass cabinet outside her old mid century cottage
