Ma Barmalie

I'm making an effort to become a little more old fashioned; waste less, grow more, eat better. I'm discovering the value of being a wee bit more frugal and what this might mean for my children. I like the idea of re-using, upcycling and more importantly, that less is more. Less packaging, less processed food, less rubbish. I also love anything vintage or retro - the well loved stuff mostly. So I'm trying to live a bit 'old school', more like my 'Nanas' did (just with a few more handy gadgets) and hopefully thriving for it. I'm definitely not going to be extremist about it or claim that I'm an expert about anything, but I'll post my discoveries as they happen. Hopefully they'll be useful to a wider audience and I hope to learn something from anybody responding to the posts. You can find out more about me on my About page at www.mabarmalie.wordpress.com
