Very much still practicing with the camera so bear with, but this was actually a lot of fun to edit! Just a basic slow day while we are officially in quarantine, plus chatting about a couple of sustainable suppliers that I really love. Jenny x
One of the biggest myths about cloth nappies: they are an enormous faff to use and maintain, much harder than disposables. Using cloth isn’t harder: it’s different. It is so exciting to see cloth appearing in more mainstream shopping places which is ultimately gonna help. Recently Tots Bots nappies appeared on the shelves of Boots UK, …
Just a warning, I have almost completely abandoned the concept of following a recipe word-for-word. For these two recipes, I definitely eyeball stuff like how much water and herbs I put in, but it always tastes amazing in the end! Bone Broth Alex and I wouldn’t call ourselves vegetarians, but since moving into our own …
Credits to my little model for doing justice to our nappies. Looking at the photo above, I realised that we actually only had one of all these nappies when Rawrie was born – the Little Lamb bamboo nappy peeking out on his right hand side. The rest were accumulated over a loooong period of time, …

Ok, first proper post where the sole purpose is for me to impart a particular piece of zero-waste wisdom to anyone who is interested. If aaaanyone is still struggling at this late hour for a Christmas present (I mean, you’ve still got 24 hours – bags of time!) and you are buying for someone who …
Lots of observations from this week. We had an election. I don’t think you need me to ramble on about that too much, especially when Twitter exists… Alex has been ill off work all week (an incredibly rare occurrence – I have resisted the temptation of others to call it “man flu”), but having both …
Guys! Pedrick’s Zero Waste Shop in Caterham (where I very happily spend my Saturday mornings) has a new YouTube series ’12 Tips of Christmas’, working towards a #plasticfreechristmas! Last week Abigail put up a video about Christmas trees, here it is! Watch this space for more tips and tricks, plus a chance to win a …
My husband Alex read the title of this blog post, grinned, and patted my arm to communicate the fact that this title could not be truer if I tried. For a while I struggled to remember how my current other obsession – living as “zero-waste” as possible – came about. It seemed to happen quite …
