Last night’s absurb, almost biblical outpouring of rain certainly took me by surprise. One moment it was boiling, then a touch overcast and suddenly a hollywood style disaster storm. Whilst it only lasted 10 minutes it was long enough to flood Victoria Station and force us onto the buses...


The recent scorcher has proved to be a little too enjoyable. It’s a bit worrying given some might say, “climate change, it’s brilliant, I don’t need to go to Spain its 35 celsius here mate”…mmm. Having said that we had a whale of a time in our inflatable paddling pool...


As you know by now, I love my food and drink! I like to buy seasonal, local produce as it seems more sustainable and tastes better too. This is a great time of year for seasonal fruit and vegetables - fabulous broad beans, tasty courgettes, tangy strawberries and incredible salads...


I love a tipple of an evening but I’ve always steered clear of new world wines. I figured drinking our fab European wines would mean less ‘wine miles’ and a lower carbon buy...


This Recycle Week, I thought I’d create m’self a green playlist to listen to while I’m recycling, reducing and reusing...


I’m a big fan of fish and seafood. Prawns, haddock, brill, skate, pollock - pan fried, baked, breaded, grilled, beer battered. You name it and I’ll eat it. But I’m starting to think twice. I pride myself on buying locally caught fish where I can...


Lucky you! I live in Greenwich with my adoring husband and two goldfish (namely fish and chips). I like: eating delicious food, bird watching, detective novels, drinking wine, walking over london bridges, laughing and boats...


It’s that time of year when I struggle to find a gift for Fathers Day. My usual inside the box thinking limits me to a bottle of whiskey or a firm handshake as I hand him a card. This year, I’m thinking outside the box and green...


Invasion of the Wheelie Bins. Dawn of the Wheelies. 28 Bins Later, or the sequel 28 Wheelies Later. All good headlines for today’s Daily Mail article ‘Not in My Front Yard‘ which details the coming of the wheelie bin apocalypse, or ‘Wheeliegedon’ as I shall dub it...

My names is Daniel and I am an Apple-holic. There. I’ve said it. Now that we’ve got that out of the way….. Today Apple release the eagerly awaited iPhone 3.0 OS, following next week with the new iPhone 3Gs - the ’s’ standing for speed...

How about charity shopping, cutting up your old clothes and using them for rags or making quilts with them? Have you joined your local Freecycle group? This great tool allows people to advertise unused items for free and stops tham from being thrown away. :)

A-moo-sing puns aside, Paul McCartney has come out today asking people to cut out eating meat one day a week to cut climate change. An article on the Guardian website states that a UN study found the livestock industry was responsible for 18% of man’s global greenhouse gas emissions...


It’s Friday! Yes! Friday! So what are you up to this weekend? Well, continuing my bike to work theme from this week, how about a nice cycle this weekend? But Daniel, I’m staying in because all my clothes are in the wash and I have half of last seasons ‘24′ to catch up on...


Well, maybe not 500 miles. But many London commuters have been out on foot these past two days in order to get to work. And a bit of sunshine this morning made it quite an enjoyable commute! Those looking to avoid the crush of the busses and trains also took to the bike...

How do you do. I’m Daniel and I’ll be your editor for the next couple of weeks. Please, take a seat and rest your weary legs. But this is no time for weary legs. Looking at the Transport for London website this morning it appears we’re in for a tubeless London over the next couple of days...

Steven, thanks for your comment. You are not alone! Today The Guardian website blogged on this topic, so would be interesting to see other cyclists comments. Check it out here: http://bit.ly/Ym7u3


I now have my heart set on Bavaria in the last week of July, for amazing mountain forests and those fairytale castles that they’re infamous for, then to the east coast of Northern Italy for a few nights before heading back to London. It’s fairly easy to plan using raileurope.co.uk...

So I think that me and the boyf want to go everywhere! We need to think about just Europe though this year. Alpine meadows are my sort of thing, but then he likes the thought of heading to Spain...

Every home needs a homemade solar cooker. This apparently won the FT sponsored-climate change challenge: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/04/10/two-cardboard-boxes-and-a-lick-of-paint-a-6-solar-cooker-to-save-the-world/


Very happy that we managed to get some sun this weekend down in Folkestone - I took the train down from London to visit the family - hope you did too in Wales Sian and Jo! But with the last bank holiday for a few months gone by I’m starting to think about how to spend my summer holidays this year...
