    Have just been on a trip down memory lane to where I used to spend my hols in France as a child. Thought I'd be nostalgic but I liked it and felt happy.

    Hope you enjoy your birthday x

    Glad that you had a good trip down memory lane in France :)

    Not sure if its just in Edinburgh and the Lothians but you can buy it in tubs in places like garden centres, independent shops and cafes and also in some supermarkets.
