We hope to give you information and ideas for your holiday in Cornwall.<\/p>\n<p>We have just visited the tiny island of St Agnes, one of a small group of islands known as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urlaubcornwall.de\/Scilly-Inseln.php\" target=\"_blank\">Isles of Scilly<\/a>, located 28 miles from Lands End out in the Atlantic. Here we met Mike and Christine Hicks who have a small farm where they produce a range of fantastic soaps and toiletries in a spectacularly beautiful location. They also produce much of their own food taking advantage of the unique Mediterranean climate of these islands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Urlaub Cornwall: What do you think is unique about the products you make?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>28 Miles:<\/strong> Our climate and salty unpolluted air encourages healthy plants to produce superb essential oils which we extract using steam distillation. The therapeutic quality of essential oils has been well documented over the years so we hope people enjoy the benefit from our lovely soaps with aromatherapy built in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0UrlaubCornwall:\u00a0 Can you describe how you work to produce your range of products?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>28 Miles: <\/strong>We produce all our products by hand, from planting the seeds or cuttings, through harvesting, distillation and soap making process. We use traditional techniques without the use of any chemicals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urlaubcornwall.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/hand-lotion.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-146\" src=\"https:\/\/www.urlaubcornwall.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/hand-lotion.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>UrlaubCornwall: What sort of herbs and plants thrive in this environment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a028Miles: <\/strong>The seashore provides fantastic plants like Samphire which we use in one of our most popular soaps. It\u2019s really evocative of the way that the winds whip up the tangy scents of the seashore herbs and wild plants. Inland our Mediterranean climate allows us to grow wonderful scented plants like Rose Geranium, Lavender, Chamomile and Rosemary. We use these in our soaps, hand wash and shower gels.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urlaubcornwall.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/field.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.urlaubcornwall.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/field.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>UrlaubCornwall: You must be proud to live and work on the Isles of Scilly?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a028Miles: <\/strong>It\u2019s not always easy on such a small island in an isolated position, but our soaps, handwash, shower gel and moisturiser are all handmade with the finest ingredients.
