Advantages: Accessible, attractive, atmospheric Disadvantages: Covers too small an area
-ville" alongside the estuary, sports a chequer-board motif of flint and sandstone and impressive gargoyles. Nowadays St Valery is focussed on the "basse-ville", and is first and foremost a sea-side resort. Not primarily a bathing resort, since swimming in the estuary can be dangerous, but more a character resort in the style of Rye, Whitstable or Honfleur.
There is a relaxing stroll (or a bracing walk, if you happen to be taking it in the face of a buffeting breeze from the west) to be had along the front facing the bay. This begins on open boardwalk built out from the original quay, before coming under the shade of lime and plane trees on its way to such beach as the town has to offer, below the hill.
Parallel to and behind the promenade runs the main street, called the Quai Perrée, with houses, shopfronts, cafés and restaurants crammed ...

Advantages: tasty addition to stews and cassorole Disadvantages: maybe to strong for your taste
Bay is an everygreen herb which grows like a shrub, it can be grown in open spaces or in tubs.
The flowers of the bay are yellow and it will flower in may.
The best way to get a bay plant is to buy one from a garden centre for around 99p depending on the size. I also like to get my herbs from bootsales where you can pick them up from 25p so saves money.

Advantages: No need for extra shaving gel! Close shave, so easy to use, and soft skin. Disadvantages: The blades are expensive, but this goes for any blades.
I used to own the Gillette Venus razor, just the 'plain jane' one, not one of the more fancy types they have now that vibrate or have 1 million blades a strip of something silky and soft. However when the Venus Breeze came out I was immediately interested in it. This razor was different. Instead of having to buy your usual shaving foam, the razor itself has a built in shave gel bar. A brilliant idea!
When I bought the Gillette Venus Breeze razor it was on offer in Boots for half price, along with the blades. This razor's full price is £7.82 in Boots, I paid about £4 for mine, back before the VAT cut. Not bad for a Gillette Venus razor, the other types also cost between the £5-£8 mark. You don't need to buy the Gillette Venus Breeze handle though to use the blades, if you already own a Gillette Venus razor, then simply buy the Breeze ...
