So I used to do a monthly newsletter documenting each my plastic fails and successes.  But since but since the pandemic I have felt rather uncertain about writing on the subject. First I myself was being hounded from pillar to post. The pandemic hit when we were in Thailand.  We had planned to stay some time and ended up on the last plane out. Since then I have done three lockdowns and four quarantines in separate countries. 

Obviously we have  had to shop how we can.

And I have a lot of resources. I have managed to be reasonably plastic free and also use independents… but the thought of lecturing others on the subject seems unfair and unproductive.

So I have taken an unintentional  sabbatical. 

In the meantime I have been considering whether or not my input is still valid. When I started there were very few of us campaigning on the subject. Now there are well established and funded charities. But more on that later.

In short, I hope that any readers of the blog are well and happy. That you have managed as best you can and have survived the worst. My thoughts are with you. Let’s hope this year is better.

And some sort of service may well be resumed. Watch this space.
