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.

“How to store your garden produce” by Piers Warren
I’ve been sent a copy of “How to store your garden produce” (by Piers Warren) by my lovely friends at Natural Collection.

Mrs Green cooks brown stuff
I was feeling a pang of guilt on Saturday night. I had the ‘great idea’ of buying up some reduced goodies in the farm shop – a bag of organic spinach and some broccoli. In addition, I had the good fortune of spotting a huge tub of cream for 25p in the supermarket. But laziness […]
And the winner is…….
We ran two competitions last month. The first was to win a signed copy of Tracey Smith’s “Book of Rubbish Ideas” Oh my; this was *such* a difficult competition to choose a winner for. Not only was it one of our most popular competitions, with loads of entries, but all of the answers were fabulous.
Weekly roundup twenty four
Welcome to our Sunday roundup. Little Miss Green is completely recovered now, but as any parent will sympathise, Mama Green is left feeling a bit chewed up and spat out around the edges. Still, things are looking up and I’ve kind of caught up with the site this week.
November’s Dustbin Demon
The monthly dustbin demon is where I get to have a bit of a rant. Instead of providing solutions I can just have a bit of a yarn about something that is bothering me in my dustbin. This month, you might recognise our little demon. He showed up during our zero waste week and Mrs […]
