Posted on April 10th, 2013

Enchantment (Bluebell, Guaiacwood & Rose) - New limited edition home fragrance from Neom launching May 2013

Reminiscent of a stolen morning walk in an ancient bluebell wood in early summer. Wild, unknown and breathtakingly beautiful… Enchantment is the new, limited edition home fragrance combining the soft, floral scent of bluebell, a fragrance that in fact comes from corn kernel, with sweet guaiacwood and rose.

Available as a Home Candle and Reed Diffuser, Enchantment is also sprinkled with notes of honeysuckle and geranium promising the most sparkling, sunny scent leaving you uplifted whilst quietly renewed and full of hope.

With every Enchantment Home Candle or Reed Diffuser sold, Neom will donate £1 to the Woodland Trust, to improve the landscape of Britain by planting more trees and protecting our national heritage of precious ancient woodland.  PLUS, Team Neom will be spending a day with the Woodland Trust at Heartwood Forest planting trees to help them reach their goal of creating England’s largest newly planted native forest.

Nicola Elliott, Founder & Director, Neom says: “Finding that we were able to offer the unmistakeable, hard-to-create scent of bluebell by discovering and using corn kernel is so exciting. The Neom team are really delighted to be able to work with the Woodland Trust in its efforts to protect our British woodlands and be able to give a little back.”

Spring

Posted on March 20th, 2013

Spring is definitely springing. Whilst we all may still need our wellies and walking boots for a jaunt outside, I  think its well worth doing. This time of year is one of my favorites. Birds are out singing and fighting for territories and we begin to see splashes of early colour through snowdrops, daffodils, heather and lesser calendine.  I thought I would share a few of the beautiful and wierd things you can see on ribby at this time of year.

 

I found this beauty behind the mini beast mansion. This strange Fungi is called the Jelly Ear Fungi. Named because of its ear like shape and flesh like texture.

In the buttercup family, Lesser Calendine is a small and easily overlooked plant. You can find it at the end of the nature trail.

 

Again im not sure what this fungi is. It can be found growing up the woodpecker tree.

 

You can find a carpet of snowdrops at the beginning of the nature trail. So for all you galanthrophiles (snowdrop lovers) come on down!

Daffodils always bring a smile to my face. Big, Yellow and Beautiful!

You can find these everywhere on site

I am definitely no Fungi expert, so im not sure what species we are looking at here (I do welcome people to tell me if they do know). I added this picture because I think Fungi are rather beautiful and amazing creatures. Without them we would struggle to exist.

A ladybird is finding shelter in the head of this spiky teasel

You will be able to see Collard Doves and wood pigeons all over Ribby at the moment. Hopefully they arnt cooing to loudly in the morning.
