A pick me up for a sad occasion!

I presented the Bampton British Legion Standard this afternoon, I stood on a layby near Faringdon with seven other standard bearers from around our local area. There were a few hundred people standing along the road, quite a significant moment.  The Cortege of eight Union Jack draped coffins was very upsetting and sad, many tears were shed, and hankerchiefs were in evidence. On my return to the car a fellow standard bearer said, ‘I’ll see you next time’.  

While sitting in my car waiting for the traffic to reduce, I really needed to lift my spirits from such a sad moment, so I had a look through my collection of essential oils that I keep in the car and came to May Chang. May Chang essential oil from China is a wonderful lemony aroma with a lighter lemongrass base note, it really made me think of an exotic location, quite divorced from my immediate surroundings, May Chang gives me a lift, making me feel a bit better. Giving me strength.  Until the next time!
