It’s happened. The air has turned cold, the mist has settled and I have a cold. I can hear your tiny violins come out as I sit here with my stinging eyes and sore head and I confess all these sniffles have made it little bit harder to stay on my low waste mission. I…
Well, I’m officially crap when I’m ill. This past week has been a hazy blur of sniffles, naps and sneezes and all the organisational drive I had disappeared along with the mountain of tissues I’ve been using. I know that if I’m going to live a low waste life, I need to get my little…
This is a blog I have been half writing for years, never quite knowing how to put it down. When you love something as much I love the Home Front, it is very hard to see its faults but as I grow older and see more of the world whilst understanding more of our past,…
I might have to think of a better title for this series as otherwise it looks like I’m being a tad over critical of my work 😀 My first week is done and I’m darn pretty chuffed with my progress. This is how my bins are looking: *I don’t have any paper or cardboard as…
October is in full flow now and as the cooler weather creeping in, I’ve started craving all things warming and hyggelig. Like a moth to a flame, I’m drawn to that lovely crackle of a wood burners, the cosines of a blanket mountain and anything I can find with ginger in. You name it, if…

After my little hiatus, I’ve given you all an update and am now ready to start on my new simpler blog life, be a little more focused and a lot more proactive, starting with my new project…drum roll…My Bin. I know, glamorous, but after a series of non starts, I needed to find something I…
It’s been a while. I started this blog over two year ago with the grandest of intentions and I’m no further forward than I was in the first month. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve edited and tweaked, added new paragraphs and reworded till my hearts content but I haven’t actually started. I had the grandest…
After sharing my last blackberry hoard post, a friend suggested I had a go at making blackberry whiskey and with the hedges still brimming with berries, I thought why not?
