Mrs Green
I am a long time supporter of the Green and Sustainable lifestyle. After being caught in the Boscastle floods in 2004, our family begun a journey to respect and promote the importance of Earth's fragile ecosystem, that focussed on reducing waste. Inspired by the beauty and resourcefulness of this wonderful planet, I have published numerous magazine articles on green issues and the author of four books.

Let’s Snaffle Up the landfill
As you’ll have gathered, we’re on a bit of a decluttering mission here at Chez Green. Little Miss Green sorted her toy cupboard, we’ve cleared the kitchen annexe and now Mr Green has had the bright idea of giving the attic a new lease of life so that we can maximise the insulation. I thought […]

December’s competition – win a set of dryer balls
This week we had a bit of a catastrophe with our sofa and had to do some emergency repairs. I’ve got to hand it to him, Mr Green is not adverse to learning how to fix things himself and can now turn his hand to most DIY jobs with aplomb.
