Bear with me please fellow eco-worriers

I am leaving my laptop and escaping to the west coast of Ireland for a short and hopefully ethical break. In the meantime, here are a couple of my current favourite blogs. For food, you can’t do better than a combination of Chocolate and Zucchini (I made the eponymous cake the other day using courgettes from our soggy but still productive plant - and it was everything I hoped it would be. Find recipe here) sprinkled in with some Sceptical Cook (I love the simple style that is used to talk recipes; no poncey descriptions, just straight food). To veer towards more environmental subjects but without going for a direct or even sense-driven approach – that would be too easy - I’m a big fan of Kitchenwitch and Hedgewizard's diary. Treehugger can of course do no wrong and for growing inspiration, I like to peruse My Tiny Plot.
