10 things we will appreciate when lockdown ends [AD]

A winter lockdown feels like a different beast to a summer one doesn’t it? Yet, things never really got back to normal after the first one. As time goes on, the things we used to love doing seem like a distant memory. I’ve been thinking about all the things we love and miss that we’ll appreciate so much more when lockdown ends. Here are my top ten, what are yours? Friends and family I think spending time with friends and family is the main thing most of us are missing. It will definitely be the first thing we do when…

Plastic Free Zero Waste Refill Shops in the UK

Plastic Free Zero Waste Refill Shops in the UK

In the fight against waste in the UK, refill shops are a key weapon. Most of us think about the packaging we buy, trying to minimise the use of plastic bags and disposable wrappers.

Every year, this is one of our busiest weeks. I have been quite relieved this year that there is less going on. Yet I’ve still ended up incredibly busy. I have just published a blog post I had been working on for months so now I intend to take a few weeks off blogging other than possibly my weekly update posts. I may well change the format of these though or even stop them all together in the new year. I’m starting to feel that sharing a photo of the girls every week just for the sake of it isn’t…
