I often feel, that when the sun shines here in the UK, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. The temperatures – while they seem to be soaring in many parts of Europe – tend to remain somewhat tamer here. We may get the odd day here and there when the midday sun reaches above 30...

Tell us the Indie Botanicals story? Indie Botanicals was born by accident if I’m completely honest! I have always been interested in skincare and beauty; you name it, I’ve tried it.

Sometimes you just need to get out of London, so last weekend my date and I decided to sample Bristol.
