Is there anything more pure than watching kids playing in puddles? Had a lovely time down in Essex with the famalam and shoutout to Tiptree Heath nature reserve (managed by @essexwildlifetrust) which is beautiful and has wild ponies! I’ve missed British countryside and the drizzle so much that I was sad that I didn’t bring my wellies myself! 😂😂💦 . . . . #wellyweather #travelwithkids #niecesandnephews #auntietime #tiptreeheath #visitessex #eastanglia #wildessex #iloveessex #essexwildlifetrust #lifestylebloggers #ukblogger #ecokids #ecofriendlyliving #ecoblogger #ethicalblogger #backpackerconfessions I donated some old wool that was given to me to my mother-in-law and she’s turned it into these beautiful hats for newborns! These are the hats that get given to babies just after they are born and it’s a great way to use up your bits of wool for a good cause! She has been told that the hospitals in Essex have a lot of hats, so let me know if you know of a hospital that is running out! For the time being, she’s also making cat blankets for the @catsprotection so if there are any other projects that need things knitting then let me know! . . . . #sustainableknitting #colchester #essex #nhs #hatsforbabies #ecoblogger #ethicalblogger #knittingforacause #recycled #babyhats #craftrevival #quickknits #newborns #ecobaby #lifestylebloggers #bloggerslifestyle One of the first things I did when I returned home was book my smear test. I feel so lucky to live in a country where this vital screening service is offered for free. I’ve travelled through countries without publicly funded healthcare and where the sick and injured people with no money cannot access help, receive woefully inadequate help or have to beg for money to get it, or not able to leave their homes or get jobs. I’m also grateful for the NHS but I certainly feel more palpably grateful and privileged than ever before. The nurse was wonderful and she even complemented my tan which is a rare thing for me! P.S. If you’ve been away or had a baby then don’t forget to get your smear test! @nhsmillion . . . . #smeartest #ilovethenhs #publichealthcare #backpackerconfessions #lifestylebloggers #lifestyleblogs #cervicalsmear As I’m repairing the house, I thought I’d take the opportunity to have a massive clearout in the style of the #konmarimethod in the most sustainable way possible. As part of my #ecomarimethod I’ve donated 3 pairs of glasses with an outdated prescription to @vision_aid_overseas so that they can be used by people with better eyes than I. I dropped these off at @specsavers but there are bins all over the place, in hospitals, opticians and shops. There is a handy map on the Vision Aid website if you want to rehome your outdated specs. I didn’t think it would be so easy and I’m very happy this charity exists 👍🏻 . . . . #ethicalblogger #ecoblogger #thereisnoplanetb #mariekondo #reuseisbetterthanrecycle #sustainablesorting #sustainablemanchester #savetheworld #stretford #visionaidoverseas #specsavers How beautiful is Yorkshire? One of the things I really missed when I was away was the rolling green hills of the NorthWest of England and taking older relatives out for tea! So happy to be back to spend time in the countryside with family. . . . . #backpackerconfessions #daysout #visityorkshire #blackstoneedge #whitehousepub #visitengland #windfarm #britishcountryside #travelbloggers #travelwriters #sundaylove #sundayfun #backhomeagain #yorkshire2019 #yorkshirelife Had a wonderful time with my top pal @kierantench and an even better time cuddling all his gorgeous @threecats.onedog rescue animals 💗 This is Perla, one of the softest cats I’ve ever stroked and the homemade bread was delicious too. Will certainly be visiting this establishment again 😂😂 . . . . #catselfie #bloggerlifestyle #ilovecats #rescueanimals #rescuecats #adoptdontshop🐾 #catstagramcat #iloveanimals #adoptanocompres❤️ Even though my cat has completely forgotten me and caught a mouse today (🤦🏼‍♀️) I’m still so glad that I rescued her (equally ungrateful) mother as I’ve seen so many pet markets around the world that I’m so glad it’s so easy to #adoptdontshop in the UK and that we have so many great charities that rescue animals from terrible situations. . . . . #rescuecats #gingercats #catstagram #catstagramcat #instapet #adoptanocompres #travelwriter #bloggerslife #ethicalblogger Took time out of unpacking to visit the @frenchknotsjo craft studio yesterday and was so glad I did! Not only did we make reusable crochet makeup pads, that actually work (see story) but I got loads of great advice for my home, sustainability from @janepoole99 and to help my grandfather-in-law. Ain’t nothing that a wonderful group of women can’t solve. Hit up Jo for all your sewing and crochet needs and she will hook you up (literally 😂)... . . . . #sustainablemanchester #crochetforhome #ecoblogger #savetheworld #ilovecrochet #frenchknotssale #southmanchester #crochetinspo #ecomakeup #sustainabletoolkit #ecoblog #thereisnoplanetb

I saw many fires in Brazil then, and things have only got worse since. The reasons for saving the Amazon actually transcend climate change (although that’s reason enough in itself), the cure for cancer may be in there, as well as numerous other wonder drugs. We’re hugely screwing ourselves over and we have to shout out for every one of those trees. Read my article to find out why we should care about the Amazon rainforest anyway? . . . . . #amazonrainforest #backpackerconfessions #ecocide #amazingamazon #stopburning #brazil #saveouramazonrainforest #ecoblogger #savetheplanet #activism #travelwriter #travelblogger Sunset over the Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque in Brunei.
