Looking forward this week to speaking to groups near Worcester and Chepstow. Is there a renewed interest in herbal medicine, or is it just that the NHS is having so many problems at present? Had a lovely sunny walk last week along part of the Cotswold Way near Uley, and saw over twenty medicinal plants in as many feet. Amazing.

Problem with one batch of Calendula Skin Cream. Please, if you have any of my Calendula cream, check the batch number. Its on the bottom right of the label. If it reads 'B5/25' then please throw it away, and contact me for a refund or replacement. Email is cjsheldrick@gmail.com. When I made this batch, I did not put the preservative in, and its going mouldy. Sincere apologies to all my customers.

Sunday 4 May is Market day at Chalford Sports and Social Club, 10am - 1pm. As usual, I will have my Calendula skin cream, Rose face cream, teas and tinctures, but also Comfrey and Arnica cream, especially for bruised, swollen and sprained muscles. Post-London marathon? Also lots of plants: pink Phlox paniculata (as picture), planters with sweet peas taking off like rockets just now, and plenty of courgettes, squashes, tomato plants. A few climbing beans, too.

It's nettle time! Get out there (with gloves) and pick the new leaves of stinging nettles. Make tea, make soup, hang up bunches and dry them for wonderful nettle tea throughout the year.
Nettles may be weeds but they are good herbal medicine. They stimulate the liver and kidneys, cleansing the body of toxins and wastes. Nettles clear the skin in eczema and urticaria. Diuretic, they relieve fluid retention, cystitis and urethritis. It softens kidney stones and kidney gravel. It’s good for hayfever, bronchitis and asthma. It is a tonic for the digestion, and relieves diarrhoea, flatulence, ulcers, phlegm and intestinal worms. It helps reduce blood sugar! For those diagnosed 'borderline type 2 diabetes' this is a great herb for naturally reducing blood sugar. Cut down on the chocolate, though....

Looking forward to speaking later today to the Staunton Gardening Club, on 'Medicinal Herbs in the Garden'. This is still my most popular talk, though 'Health from the Hedgerow', about wild medicinal plants, goes down well with countryside groups.

With my other (Spanish) hat on, can I just add that from April I am leading occasional four-hour flamenco workshops? Some people know I have been a flamenco enthusiast for decades, and dancing in this absorbing style since 1989, and these workshops are for absolute beginners. More info on my main FB page.

Last market of the year on Sunday 1 December at the Sports and Social Club, Chalford Hill, 10am-1pm. I shall have the usual creams, teas and antiviral mix, but also Christmas evergreen wreaths, potted hyacinths and flowering white paperwhite narcissi in baskets (if they don't sell out at the market in Minchinhampton Holy Trinity on 30 November!)

Great success with the chillies this year. A good crop of four different types, some of which I pickled (recipe on my website) and some of which are hung up to dry. Cayenne is so good for the circulation and oxygenation of the blood, apart from adding spark to nutritious but otherwise bland pulses.

Delighted to now have a suitable outlet for my creams in Stroud. The Calendula skin cream and Rose face cream are now stocked at Loose, the plastic-free shop at the top of the High Street. Julie at Loose has a fantastic shop, which is highly recommended.
