Aloe Vera farm..

Interesting to see these being grown.
I never use soap on my face either - yuch ! I just use water. I don't know if I'd like this on my face either. Does it feel slimey ? Maybe I wouldn't mind if it got rid of a few wrinkles lol

Interesting Sandra, I believe it has several medicinal uses.

Lovely picture of the Aloe Vera growing in the fields, didnt imagine it to look like that!

How interseting! Cant be bad if it smooths dem old wrinkles out! :)

Very interesting bloomer, I have a huge aloe vera they grow so quickly don't they, no flowers yet though so I'll have to wait to set up the brewery:-), have used the odd cut leaf for soothing burns, very useful plant.

Thanks Hywel..no,it doesn't feel at all slimy,just cooling and refreshing .:o)...never mind your wrinkles,,look what they did for Charles Bronson ! ..The rugged look,I believe Lol.
Thanks Cinders,you are right,there was something for most things medical ,as well as cosmetic..even safe enough to use on babies,with baby eczema( spelling? )

I didn't know what to expect either ,Carole,but it was a lovely place ,and made a nice change from the usual places they take you to...like wine tasting ,and leather...

You are right there,Pixi..:o)I bought one of each for our daughter too,as the Aqua gel,in the yellow one,
can be used for Thomas after his bath..

You might have a long wait for the wine,Simbad..! Maybe not enough hot sunshine here,to produce flowers..but you are so right about the burns..or cuts of any kind,heals the skin so quickly...Family in Spain use it a lot from their garden too..have you tried eating the flesh ? supposed to be very good for you.you just have to make sure all the yellow gunge is off first,then it can be cut into squares..just like a jelly....don't know whether I would dare to try it at home though !

I didn't know any parts of the Aloe was poisonus Sandra I have always used the plant for burns / sunburn / bruises etc. an interesting blog ..

We were given to understand it was if injested,Amy..but maybe not for using on the skin ? Probably be ok .but she didn't say anything about that..

The rugged look lol - that's a better name for it :D

great stuff sandra and yes used in alot of products, great for skin conditions :o))

We managed to fit a lot in,Homebird,as we were only docked for a day,but glad this was part of the tour..

It suits you,being a male,Hywel,..not so good for me ! Lol.

Thanks San,I'm glad I bought some there..not cheap,but will last ages..:o)

Quite an interesting post from you bloomer

sandra iv booked tenerife hahah 10th march, not been before so looking forward to it, maybe i will get some while there :o)))

Thanks Stevie..glad you liked it :o)

Oh,that sounds good San..whereabouts are you staying ? sorry to burst your bubble,but the farm is in Lanzarote,not Tenerife..still the Canaries though,so you weren't far off ! Lol.We have never stayed there either,but keep thinking about it..We flew back from there though,as that was the last place we called,but sadly,it was at 7am in the morning..we were so dumb,we could have booked a weeks stay,if we has just thought about it beforehand..already there ...,just to come home !

for a change ; )

Lol,Stevie..do you mean just mine,or in general ? :o))

Hey Sandra Wine tasting and Leather sound ok to me lol

I can see you enjoying the Wine tasting bit,Carole..but do you mean handbag type Leather,or the motorbike type gear .? Lol.

Fascinating. Such a great insight into a horticultural industry. Thanks. :)

Thank you,Tralamander,glad you enjoyed it.I found it very interesting.:o)
