Mrs Green perches precariously to photograph the budding writer
Yes, you may well wonder what I am doing sitting on top of a recycling bank.
Well here’s the deal and you’ll have to excuse me as I swell with pride over a proud mama moment.
Last year we received a letter in the post from the RSPB.
I don’t know how they had heard about us, or how they obtained our details, but it was a letter commissioning Little Miss Green to write for their “Bird Life” magazine!
“Bird Life” is sent out to RSPB members who are over the age of eight (called “Wildlife explorers“) and is aimed at the 8-12 age range. It comes out six times a year and is filled with pictures, information about wildlife, competitions and things to do.
The editor asked if Little Miss Green could write around 800 words for the issue that came out at the end of October about recycling, her experience and with ideas for how other children can do their bit.
The editor wrote
“This feature will break new ground for us…
It will be great to have new life and impetus breathed into the subject…
Children your age will be really motivated to act when they hear what you have to say.”
Phew! I don’t mind admitting the letter made me cry!
And the feedback once Little Miss Green had submitted her piece?
“It’s wonderful, simply wonderful. Lovely pictures and an article that has the all-important elements of simplicity, humour and achievability”
Wow! I’d better look out; there’s a budding writer at zero waste towers!
So why was I on top of a recycling bank? Well Little Miss Green needed photos for her masterpiece and Mum was the official photographer:

“Wildlife Explorers” costs just £16 per year per child and 90p in every £1 goes directly to conservation, so if you’re looking for a gift for a nature lover in your family, why not consider supporting the RSPB – you never know what articles you’ll be reading in their magazine!

Well done, little Miss Green. Maybe it’s the first of many she will write. She certainly has plenty of experience in that field to do so.
Brilliant LMG. You’re an inspiration!
