I just had a nice catch up with Sue Jueno, creator of All Things Eco and co-founder of the most excellent new title, The Book of Green!
It’s soon to hit the streets and I’m very proud to have penned a few lines for the foreword.
I know we’re constantly being slung advertising lines from magazines and publications, More…

Green Product or Service? You Gotta Be In This!
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009For the Love of Volunteering!
Friday, May 1st, 2009Tomorrow (Saturday 2nd May), I’ll be doing my bit to flap the flag for our local hospital radio station, Apple AM.

Mini OOFFOOism: Need Yeast?
Friday, May 1st, 2009If you’re a bit of a breadie and get through a fair amount of yeast, stop buying those expensive sachets and go to your local health food shop and buy a 500g tin with a resealable lid!
I use the Allinsons dry yeast and pay about 3.65p ish….which makes all your loaf baking much cheaper, not to More…
Flour: a fab bulk buy
Friday, May 1st, 2009Evening all,
Just a shortie, as I prepare to take control of the remote and put something ‘girlie’ on for a change…..
You may know already, I do like a bit of bread making and I get through quite a bit of flour knocking up a loaf or two a day.
To use good ingredients and reduce my costs, More…

Friday, May 1st, 2009Yippee, it’s Friday afternooooooon!
Ere, I’ll be waking up in Oxfordshire on Bank Holiday Monday morning….

Twitter: Essential, or a Thorn in your Backside?
Thursday, April 30th, 2009I’ve just hopped onto Twitter for a quick sniff around at what’s going on.
I don’t Facebook, Bebo or do any of those other social networking sites – too intrusive if you ask me – but Twitter was introduced to me by a hardworking journo chum who said, ‘it’s THE ONLY place to be’…
Fair enough I thought More…
Sun Dried Tomato Bargain
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009Hi all – only a shortie, as I write to you with sticky fingers from nibbling mackerel paté (from the little fish shop in the Cobb at Lyme Regis) on my sun-dried tomato bread….oh missus – it’s mouthwatering…!
Anyway, it’s the tomatoes I’m writing about.
I bought a few large bag of them from Julian Graves (you More…

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009I can hold the excitement in no longer!
This weekend, I’ll be heading off to Dorchester on Thames in Oxfordshire to attend my first proper literary festival with The Book of Rubbish Ideas…yay!
I’ll be doing a reading and a flat bread demo too, which is always great fun and doing a signing sometime after…but then I More…
Mobile Phone Popcorn Shocker!
Sunday, April 26th, 2009I’ve long been aware that mobile phones have an EMF (electro magnetic field/frequency) and I know that the potentially harmful effects of EMF have been widely debated.
Today I was sent a short video that made me sit up and think about the topic again.
If you use a mobile phone, please stop what you’re doing and More…
Have You Finished Your Night Time Fires?
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009I have no central heating in my cottage, but I do have a nice stove in the living room (cast iron fire thingie with a flat top I can cook on and leaven my bread).
Last night was a bit touch and go, but tonight, we’ve got no fire on and it’s fairly tollerable!
We do have More…
