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.

Kim and Simon sat on our sofa drinking tea while we put the world to rights (and I figured out how to […]
Weekly weigh in number seven
Oh Dear what can the matter be? Dear dear what can the matter be? Oh dear what can the matter be? Our weigh in’s a total nightmare. Our graph is going to be doing an acute rise this week due to a thorough clearing out of my kitchen cupboards a couple of days ago. Why […]

I always new Mr Green was hot. In fact, those were the exact thoughts that went through my mind the first time I laid eyes on him some ten-and-a-bit years ago. And in case you’re wondering, yep, those same thoughts go through my mind to this day. All together now…………..
Freecycle – saving me from landfill shame
Freecycle, you just have to love it, dontcha? If you’ve not heard of it, then Freecycle is the brain child of Deron Beal.
