Newness!

Post: # 95086Post ocailleagh »

Hi, just joined up after seeing the book in my local Waterstones...not bought it as yet though! I'm really bad at intros, but I'll do my best!
I endeavour to be as green as I can, mostly by avoiding manmade chemicals in all their nasty forms, avoiding synthetic materials and trying to buy organic, fairtrade and local foodstuffs etc. I'm kinda OCD about it actually, but in my view, thats a good thing!
Looking forward to exchanging tips and the like!
