Sustainable living

As is now widely known, more and more we are in need of a sustainable future. And there are so many things around us that we can and should be aware of: recycling, energy consumption, car usage, carbon footprint, to name but a few. In a recent on-line carbon footprint test I did for our family, I was still quite shocked to see how little impact our own current awareness for sustainability has on our carbon footprint. So, despite doing our bit by recycling and switching off sockets, etc. there is still a long way to go!
With the weather starting to turn nicer I decided, instead of going out to buy new garden furniture, to "recycle" our existing weathered and worn chairs and table. I sanded them down and treated them. The result is rather nice and it gave us great pleasure to bring a new lease of life to them...
