I have of late found myself asking, as Andie MacDowell's character in Sex, Lies and Videotape did: what are we going to do with all the garbage? I suppose this is partly due to the fact that our garbage collection service closed over the festive season, leaving us with piles of black bags and nowhere to take them. I've always had a major problem with throwing left over food away, we feed it to our muster (yes, muster) of peacocks, but this pet hate seems to be spilling over to other areas of my life. And so I have declared 2013 the year to reduce waste. The result: I will probably be posting photos of homemade gifts, some recycled or made with stuff that I have, and some not.
Other than fighting the multi billion dollar consumer industry, I work as a Communications specialist and a graphic designer, from the comfort of the lovely home I share with my husband and my teenage daughter (who goes back to school in two days and still has pink hair). Our little family is completed, and entertained on a daily basis, by Max The Fearless Jack Russel, Tix The Killer Ginger Cat and Aboo The Coordination Challenged But Very Pretty Black Cat.
