It's not often you walk past a factory and say those words is it. But in Ashby you can because here we have a soap factory - Standard Soap - that supplies many of the hotel soaps. It smelt delcicious today - they must have been making a sort of fruity soap or shampoo.
Imagine a dirty, smelly stable suddenly being filled with the sweet aroma of frankincense. Wow.
I had completely forgotten about Standard Soap. I remember visiting their Factory Shop about 10 years ago- it was great fun and I got some real bargains. I must visit again sometime, and then grab a cuppa at your place!Advent blessings x
