I understand there are three rules to accepting a One Lovely Blog Award:
1) Give credit to the person who nominated you., thanks Mary !
 2) Describe 7 things about you.
Now this sounds easier than it may actually be but here goes!

2. I'm a mad chicken lady, I have 6 chooks and given the opportunity would probably have more

4. I am mum to a sixteen year and my partner is a workaholic engineer
5. We are a homestay family and often host overseas students and WWOOFers (willing workers on organic farms)
6. I'm a bit of a hippie and love making things from scratch, baking bread, making my own soap and cooking from scratch, creating things with my hands,
7. I cant tolerate waste this is one of my absolute pet hates, and I'm loveing that the world is becoming aware of how much we waste, but we need to do more.
