hello from the north

Post: # 228520Post leafy1greens »

Hi, I have been growing potatoes, onions, carrots, few other veggies for a few years now ( just in back yard). I sometimes knit socks and am a keen crafter.
If I can reuse something I will .
If someone is giving away a sofa and I need one I will take it rather than buy a new one.
We have a recycled cat (second hand/rescue).
I'm no saint, if I want a sandwich when out, I will get one, although I try to avoid the plastic wrapped ones, not always successfully.
Sometimes baking quiches, pasties,try to make my own meals as much as possible.
Not a big user of green cleaning products but if I discover a good one will stay with it. Saying that, happy to use bicarbonate powder, to clean inside mugs.
Looking for shampoos and soaps with less chemicals these days.Don't knowingly use anything tested on animals.Gave up the Bodyshop when it went to Loreal.
Am omnivore mostly eating fish and veggie food, rarely some chicken.
That is my 'ishness'.
Lovely forum. :icon_smile:

Hi there an welcome! :wave: North? North of where? Yes I'm nosey!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
