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
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
Lent is over now and I have no doubt you are desperate to know how I got on. I have had a total of zero enquiries about it, so wait no longer! I didn't quite manage something every day, and I have to admit to a bit of cheating, where I perhaps sent two emails … Continue reading Lent Round-Up

Clearly those with water meters are happy to … Continue reading Free Ways to Save Water – Limited Offer
So we’re looking to April and have decided on April’s challenge: We’re installing a water meter This is something we talk about vaguely every now and again but have never done anything about. I think the main reason is that I’ve never really liked the idea of being careful about the water I use. It … Continue reading The Challenge for April
As part of my Lent Promise I started a new petition yesterday. It’s very similar to the old (unsuccessful) one. Today’s Lent activity is to publicise said petition so here we go. In early September 2018 I petitioned the government on their own petition website. I had six months to gather as many electronic signatures … Continue reading New Petition! Please Help! (Groan!)
I’m so embarrassed! I’ve never claimed to be a perfect greenie and I’m sorry to say that I have booked FOUR plane flights this year. I’m sorry for the harm I’m doing to the planet but I forgive myself for the two holidays! We’ve already taken one – to the Canaries – and it was … Continue reading Confession Time!
