Hay-on-Wye appears in a royal charter of 1121 as Castello de haia taillata. Today the spring runs down from the Black Mountains to Swan’s Well, then on through the ravine between St Mary’s Church and the Motte & Bailey. It’s where I collect the water for our soaps, natural and made by hand, one batch at a time. The full story is on the blog, Inside the Workshop. Link in bio.

New to Castello de Haye 🪻 the Portus Cale Gold & Blue, now in a 250ml ceramic vessel.

If you love our 100ml, you'll love this larger ceramic version. Hand-crafted by Portuguese master ceramists in the classic azulejo tradition, each vessel is finished with gold detailing and holds a pink pepper & jasmine fragrance that settles into warm amber and vetiver.

Not a diffuser you replace — one you refill, season after season.

Michaelmas Daisies, glistening in the garden this morning. Of everything in bloom right now, they are my favourite.
Michaelmas, the feast of St Michael and All Angels, kept on 29 September. For centuries it marked the turn of the farming year: the harvest gathered in, rents settled on quarter day, and a goose on the table. These daisies flower just as it arrives, which is how they got their name.

There’s an old country saying that blackberries shouldn’t be picked after Michaelmas. It’s a good reminder to notice what the season is asking of us.

From the garden of Castello de Haye, Hay-on-Wye.
