Let’s make pizza, and other things my son says
It's fair to say Steve and I are food lovers. We both enjoy getting into the kitchen and making a mess - which would be a whole lot easier if we had a dishwasher - and the majority of our social outings revolve around food, farmers' markets, restaurants and delis.

I have to admit this year was the easiest Plastic Free July yet, probably because in this neck of the woods most months are predominantly plastic… Continue reading It’s a Plastic Free life
