My youngest son has returned from England with a skin rash around his neck and dry scaly skin on his arm.

The arm was itching as he is allergic to some of the evergreen branches in the fileds surrounding our house.

Instead of leaving it to clear up with the help of the soap products that we have, he kept scratching it and whilst in England he did not use the soap and it has gotten worse.

Now back in Ireland, he is showering twice a day using our shower cream and shampoo - sometimes just the latter as it is made of natural oils which are good for the skin and the hair - and the skin is becoming more moisturised and should hopefully return to its normal state in the next week.

It is difficult though to stop the scratching. I lathered up a plain bar of goats milk soap this morning and applied the bubbles to his neck and this helped soothe the itch.

Th sun is shining here again today so I’m off again to collect more branches for the goats. After milking we’ll let them out in the field and they love to see the branches strewn around. It doesn’t take them long to eat them all. They get more at lunchtime and more are left in their pens for when they return in the late afternoon.

We like to think our goats are happy goats.
