Advantages: Pampering and suited to those who like "everyday" indulgence Disadvantages: You won't like it if you dislike the Sanctuary fragrance
Since I ran out of three of what I consider to be my key bathroom essentials (body scrub, bath foam and moisturiser) this week, I've recently been on a bargain hunting expedition in Boots. Being a bit short on cash (as most of us are these days) I did my homework on www.boots.com, sized up the bargains on offer and found that there was a promotional offer on the Sanctuary range, that collection of products created by the very posh-sounding ladies-only day spa in Covent Garden.
This was a particular bargain for me because I like the Sanctuary range and use it most of the time. What this tempting offer entailed was that, if I spent £10 or more on the range, I would get a travel bag with a series of mini versions of products from the Spa Essentials collection. So - reasoning that it would stretch my money a bit further - I bought the two ...
Advantages: fragrance, very bubbly, they've put it in a bottle now Disadvantages: price, fragrance might not suit everyone
foam for around six to eight months, so I was surprised when I dropped into Boots and found it is in a bottle now. So, on the pouring-into-the-water side, this change has impressed me as I found it much more practical. (The bottle holds 500ml so I'm expecting it to last a good four to five weeks if not longer, but as it's £8.99 a go on the Sanctuary website - or £8.76 at Boots - it's the kind of product I want to both enjoy using and make go as far as possible.)
I don't know exactly why, but I find that there's something more pampering about using a bath foam which is opaque, as against a transparent one, and the Sensuous Bath Creme is very easy on the eye. It's a soft peachy orange liquid - fairly thick but not to the point where it clogs up the neck of the bottle when I pour it out - with a pearly sheen to it, although not glittery, which ...
Advantages: That old magic's still there... Disadvantages: ...but not often enough
original to TFWD, but first saw the light of day in a 1975 anthology, "Richard Adams's Favourite Animal Stories" and is reprinted here pretty much verbatim. It's a solid enough tale, but most readers are likely to enjoy more the following chapter, "Speedwell's Story", a light-hearted and funny piece of nonsense.
Part II also concerns itself with El-ahrairah, but the four stories found here form part of a larger narrative, recounting some of the great rabbit hero's adventures (with his faithful companion Rabscuttle, naturally) on the long and arduous journey home from their trip to see the Black Rabbit of Inlé, as recounted in Watership Down itself. Again, however, most of the stories seem lacklustre, and really only one - "The Story of the Great Marsh" - rises above the average.
In both Part I and Part II, the stories are presented as ...

Manufacturer's product description
AN EAGLE IN THE AIRING CUPBOARD picks up where Rex Harpers first book, AN OTTER ON THE AGA, left off. It follows the fortunes of the Cornish RSPCA centre through one of its most testing twelve months. Once more it is a mixture of funny, touching and sometimes moving animal stories. And once more it features a cast of unforgettable characters, like Alfie and Blue, two hideously mistreated greyhounds that are rehabilitated at the farm, as well as the return of old favourites from Rex's first book, including his loyal dog Moss. Throughout, Rex evokes the sights, smells, sounds and spirit of the Cornish countryside in all its timeless beauty. He also encounters sickening cases of animal cruelty committed by humans unfit to care for any living thing. Funny, warm and evocative, it is a book that is, once more, set to melt and occasionally break the hearts of animal lovers everywhere. See all Product Description
