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.

Ok, I’m unashamedly doing a plug here for one of my favourite companies. I’m a H-U-G-E fan of Natural Collection. There is so much Green Washing going on out there that’s it’s difficult to know who you can trust in the retail and services world.
Comfort baking
Poor Little Miss Green; she’s been so ill for the past few days. I remember finding the sound of my Mum doing housework very comforting when I was poorly. Little Miss Green’s request was to curl up on the sofa under a duvet and watch me in the kitchen. Which meant, I had to find […]
Weekly weigh in twenty three

It could be a zero waste Christmas after all (well, next year maybe)
It’s time to let go of your Wrap Rage, folks! Over on the fabulous ‘Aiming Low‘ blog, Katy ( who describes herself as a “sort-of-novice triathlete trying to minimise the waste she generates”) shared the exciting news that Amazon are working hard to reduce their ‘frustration packaging’. That’s unnecessary plastic, wire, clamshells (that hard plastic […]
The perils of the British cuppa
Yesterday passed pretty uneventfully here at Chez Green. Little Miss Green woke herself up coughing, so down went the sage and garlic syrup (brave girl). She needs a large orange juice chaser to follow that one, but it’s a miracle worker that will have her restored in no time.
Back from the bowels of my fridge
You may remember I had a joyless task to attend to on Friday. Well I’m proud to say, that with the motivational tones of Pat Benatar blasting out on the stereo ‘Hit me with your best shot’ I did the chore and cleaned out the fridge. There was nothing else scary lurking in there, the […]
Sometimes, you just have to face up to the rubbish in your fridge
Well you just can’t get away from it, can you? All my talk of baking and actually doing some zero waste houseworky things yesterday and instead, I thought I’d skive off. Little Miss Green visited a friend yesterday morning which freed up my morning to do much more interesting things than sort the fridge. In […]
