Countryfile Came to Foam-o!
Blogging on here has not been my strong suit, I must admit. However, I do endeavor to change that – so here goes!
We’re so excited to say that we’re on countryfile on BBC2 tonight, catch it on iPlayer if you’re reading this in the future! That’s right though, I was approached by the one and only British Broadcasting Company to be on a programme about farming and soap as well as diversifications in general.
I’m really proud of how my soap is doing, and there aren’t a lot of us soapers out in the wilds of Northumberland, if truth be told. I’m even more proud of my soap as I actually have epilepsy, which means I can’t work on the farm we live on, and that is why I make the pretty soaps that you lovely people buy! We did talk about Northumberland, soaps, and epilepsy all while I was trying to control a saponification reaction was taking place – that was very stressful indeed. I think I managed okay?
The reason I had to try and talk about it all at the same time was because the presenter of countryfile, Adam Henson, wanted to make some soap with me, so he’s designed a new soap that is now online to be bought! Although, since curing time can be up to 6 weeks, there may be a bit of a wait for the famous soaps to be delivered.
I’m really excited as it’s always been a bit of a dream to be on tele, and even more so to be on countryfile – it really is crazy! Photo below of soap that was made with me AND A FAMOUS MAN! (It's pine, eucalyptus and mint)
If you’ve just come to my site because of my segment on countryfile then a huge and warm welcome is extended out to you too, because I really do value people who care for the environment, like British farming and wildlife, plus those who are willing to invest their time (and maybe money) into small businesses, we wouldn’t really survive without people who care, even if we try to be caring back by not charging a fortune for our work!
All of you who read this blog, I hope you’ve had a nice experience on my site, maybe think about where all your products are from, perhaps even buying a box of soap, and that you absolutely loved the work that me and my family do daily to try and make our little bit of the world a tiny bit brighter.
