Jane Thurnell-Reid Successfully Cycled From Land’s End to John O’Groats
Wells For Africa
Jane thoroughly enjoyed her exhilarating 12 day cycle ride right from the very South of the England to the very north of Scotland. Almost every day she cycled in the region of 80 miles, in some places going through very hilly country and sometimes large towns and cities could not be avoided. She is most grateful to all of you who helped her cause to buy the much needed WELL to provide water for a village in Zambia.

Product of the Month - Yin Yang Skin Cleanser
When anyone asks me which Yin Yang product I like the most, I always reply that it is the Cleanser. So I was particularly pleased that we recently won an award in the ultimate guide to the best all-natural beauty products NATURAL BEAUTY. Our award was in the best Cream Cleanser category and was chosen from among 80 tested brands and praised for its refreshing and moisturising properties. My reason for liking it is one of science, because it cleans without detergent, removing dirt and dead skin cells at the same time as it enhances the all-important protective mildly acidic barrier that maintains good skin condition throughout life. Good cleansing always comes first and is followed by gentle toning and appropriate moisturising.
Flower of the Month - The Rose
As I look out of my kitchen window, the rose garden which I planted in Autumn 2007, looks absolutely wonderful. As I mentioned in my post on Summer Skin, this is the best season for roses in living memory, due to the very cold winter and very warm May with plenty of refreshing rains in between. For many centuries roses have been grown around the world. The symbolism connected with the rose is one of the richest – traditionally associated with Venus, the Goddess of love and beauty and used for a wide range of disorders from headaches to poor circulation. With its beautiful blooms and wonderful scents, it is a great inspiration for us all at this time of mid-summer.
