As you can see from this shot, the Badger (AKA my husband, Aib, so named by House Party guests for his premature greying and temperament) is clearly delighted with his Christmas present, a small tin of Badger Balm Stress Soother. He promises to follow the directions whenever the need arises…
“Massage a little onto hands, temples, forehead or anywhere you need a little soothing.
Think good thoughts and breathe it in.”
I recon it might work until the next time he has to call Orange France…


I’ve bought Badger Balm for my pesky kids and it doesn’t seem to calm or soothe their temperaments when I’ve put the hair-slides in wrong. Never mind, I’m sure our much-anticipated holiday with you will sort them out.
Maybe Frank’s home made ice cream will succeed where Badger Balm failed? If I’m honest it has had very little effect on the Rigaud Badger who’s as scratchy as he ever was!
