I’ve been umming and awwing for a while now about how I can share the books I’m reading with you all (Home Front Solution #15). I didn’t want to bore you all with huge paragraphs on each one but still wanted to let you know when I found something brilliant so I’ve made this virtual…
Plastic Free July First Year Round Up How I got on… No plastic shopping bags – so in theory this would have been the easiest but like all plastic free challenges, this was all about organisation, and I found I wasn’t the best at that. Sometimes I would pack myself up nicely with a handful…
