You notice a hole/ loose thread/button hanging on for dear life and your first thought wasn’t: “I’ll fix that" it was “That’s done now.” Straight to the “replace” pile, not because you’re wasteful or you don’t care but because somewhere along the way, most of us stopped believing we could fix things.

There was a time when trying to live more sustainably felt like adding more to my list; more swaps, more products, more things to remember and if I’m honest, it got overwhelming quite quickly.

We did another "big month" shop when we got back from holiday: I used a deal to get £149.99 worth of food for £99.90 and that was most of what we need apart from fresh fruit and veg from Olio. I did do a £5 s…

The light lingers a bit longer, the birds sound just that little bit busier, and I start eyeing up every empty jar or yoghurt pot like it’s a potential plant pot (just me? 🤣)
