My personal blog - initially started in 2008 to describe my experience following Stephen Cottrell’s book ‘Do nothing for Christmas - an Advent Calendar with a difference’ I repeated this in Advent, 2011.
It’s Advent again so I’m going to try to do another Advent Calendar with a difference - what is the meaning of Christmas. No particular theme, just an eclectic mix of thoughts and ideas - from me and, I hope, from my friends

Day 17 Tearfund Carbon fast:
Buy food that’s being grown or produced locally using local shops and farmers markets where possible.
Since the Green Month at Church, Wendy and I have been more aware of buying food stuffs locally - couldn't believe our luck when we found that Wren Davies produce their own flour and it's organic. We make our own bread - well the breadmaker makes it! So it's just a short cycle trip to pick some up.
It really is important to use local suppliers - " Use them or loose them" We're going to continue shopping locally when ever possible. (Sometimes a trip to a large supermarket is a must though.) The other thing we've noticed is that we have tended to over shop and have now started to plan our meals out - waste is simply not an option! It's a challenge and our neighbours pigs only had 2 bananas and a small piece of cucumber this week!
