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.

Weekly weigh in twenty six
We were doing so well with this week’s weigh in and then I went and had one of my ‘good ideas’. Actually, it was more of a ‘we really need to do this before the house is condemned’ type idea. You see, this morning i walked into my kitchen annexe and was confronted with this:
