Those wall soaps are an absolute French classic - you have to position them correctly so any drips don’t go on the floor, but the soaps last for ages so think how much you’ll save! 😆

I have a feeling that James Martin has one of those soaps by his sink in his TV kitchen! I always think how brilliant they are!! Happy travels x

Yet again, Sal — a fab read! I love a pretty soap; I have a few in the drawer, but they’ve never been opened or used. Yours are crème de la crème! They would go well in a downstairs loo or utility room. 😊

Thanks for the read. Oh, by the way — how could you have left that blouse behind? You’re slipping, Sal! 😂 x

Ha! Cheap cheese guy! Wondering if it’s the same one we encountered last year! 🥴😂 managed to sell us a sliver of cheap cheese for 18 euros. Delicious but the most expensive cheese I have ever bought! 😂

I was in a cafe yesterday that had one of those soaps in the ladies. (The Street Bakeshop in Old Basing.) I recommend it for the amazing cakes, in addition to the soap experience! x
