Working Towards a Sustainable(ish) Bathroom

Apologies for the layout of this post - the website has changed so that I would have to pay even more money to display pictures how I used to. I also can't put links in, but I think I have found a way around that. If you don’t like bathrooms look away now! I have … Continue reading Working Towards a Sustainable(ish) Bathroom →

Clothes and the Environment

I was going to use the word ‘fashion’ in the heading of this post but then realised that you can’t get much further from fashion than my wardrobe!  I wear clothes for years and don’t buy many new ones so I know very little about fashion. In Eco circles July is often referred to as … Continue reading Clothes and the Environment →

Eco Tips to Save You Cash

To mis-quote Anne-Marie Bonneau “We don't need a handful of people being perfectly environmentally friendly, we need millions of people doing it imperfectly" And I truly believe that.  I’m probably preaching to the converted but I have put together a list of small changes we can all make which actually SAVE money.  They are my … Continue reading Eco Tips to Save You Cash →

November 2019

Sorry I’m late with November’s resolution – I’ve been on holiday (just to make you both jealous) in Majorca and somehow couldn’t find the time!  We discussed possible plans at the airport during our three-hour delay but I didn’t get as far as writing it up. So November’s resolution is To eat red meat a … Continue reading November 2019 →

July 2019

Ok so it’s nearly the end of the month and I’ve kept you waiting for July’s resolution.  I’ve been a bit off-piste* lately as I’ve been a bit poorly and taking some time off.  I’m sure you‘ve both coped but if it did cause any anxiety or cold turkey do let me know. For me … Continue reading July 2019 →

Quick June update

A quick update for June - we've rejoined the library.   Ok so my reading tastes aren't exactly high-brow but these are just the sort of books I would buy in paperback or for my kindle or from the charity shop.  So we're saving money and resources as well as making sure the author gets … Continue reading Quick June update →
