How cute is this hedgehog! Anyone else think it’s posing?! A few weekends ago I found this little hedgehog in my garden which inspired me to find out more about the species. Did you know that the hedgehog population is down by 50% since 2000 😓 I’ve become a hedgehog champion, committing to do my bit at home to save them. Find out more and how you can help in my new blog post 🦔 Link in bio 🍃
New blog post 🙌🏼 This wave sculpture contains the average amount of plastic found on every 2 miles of beach in the UK 😱 It’s even bigger than this photo shows and as a visual representation of ocean pollution I think it definitely leaves a lasting impression. But it also left me wondering how 8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in our ocean each year? This weekend I trawled the internet in search of answers - luckily I’ve made it easier for you in my latest blog post! Link in bio 🍃
Did you know that you can significantly reduce your environmental impact by growing your own produce? With no food miles and zero plastic packaging you really can’t beat it. Plus it always tastes better 😋 Over the last few weeks we’ve been enjoying tomatoes and cucumbers as well as these peas which taste so much sweeter from the garden than any shop bought variety I’ve ever tried 👌🏼
I can’t think of any better way to enjoy a warm summers evening than with a refreshing glass of elderflower champagne in hand 🥂 Recipe on the blog - it’s a good one 🌼 Link in bio 🍃
A little bit of inspiration this morning! ✨ It’s often easy to feel overwhelmed by the idea of sustainability with ambitious goals and dramatic lifestyle changes.

Yesterday we explored the lovely little island of Sark with its incredible clifftop views ☀️ Just like Herm (which we visited earlier this week) there are no cars and so the only ways to get around are to walk, cycle or ride a horse drawn carriage!! Known for it’s unspoiled landscapes it boasts an abundance of wildflowers, birds and butterflies 🦋 Wearing the blue embroidered mara top from @peopletreeuk #sarkstories
