I live in rural Gloucestershire and I try to be greenish and I love furnishing my home with second hand finds. I've had rugs from the tip and one that was dumped in a supermarket recycling centre, I buy on Ebay and I gather and disperse items on Freecycle, I love skips.I am lucky enough to have the space to grow veggies and fruit and keep chickens and I am into making preserves and bottling my produce as well as freezing.
Travel in the countryside is not green, where I live is very hilly and I couldn't manage to cycle, I do walk as much as possible but it takes more than an hour and a half to walk to the village shop and back so often the only option is the car.
I like knitting especially for our young grandson but I'm dreadful at sewing, I like cooking and gardening and reading when time allows.
We have spent the last 9 years rescuing a semi derelict farmhouse and making it as energy efficient as we can.
(thanks)
