Hectic Host: A Day Trip Back in Time

Image
The May Bank holiday always reminds me of the family days out of my childhood. My Dad cracking hardboiled eggs on the dashboard of the Anglia; my sister and I, shivering from the sea, sitting on a cooler box the size of a bank safe tucking into ham and sand sandwiches. The orange squash, fruit juice had yet to be discovered, the Tupperware tainted salads. It was the age of Tupperware; when future archaeologists try to excavate our past they will first have to break through the hermetically sealed plastic seam of the seventies.

Whilst some 70s parents where chucking their car keys into the middle of the room, mine had thrown their whole lot in with Tupperware INC.

Along with the summer sun comes the nasty bugs that bite. Most popular and effective insect repellent sprays contain terribly toxic chemicals and smell awful, enough to repulse even the most ardent admirer as well as the intended pests. Thank heavens then for Mrs White's Unstung hero; a completely non-toxic anti-mosquito repellent with a revolutionary formula which combines a fragrant, fresh Eau de Cologne and an ingredient that renders you 'invisible' to mosquitoes, black flies, ticks, wasps and bees. So you smell wonderful, but not quite good enough to eat! The Eau de Cologne's uplifting lemon tea fragrance is suitable for men and women, with subtle notes of tea infused with fresh citrus. In fact you can wear it as a fragrance without anyone knowing you are wearing anti-mosquito protection and you will be complimented on your cologne! The 250 ml bottle means there is ample cologne to spritz on bedding and pillows as well as yourself and your clothes, an...
