riverwalk my latest issue of The Garden (RHS magazine) came wrapped up not in plastic as usual, but in an envelope which they claimed was made of potato starch & therefore compostable.
I’ve put it to the test 
I doubt it would be strong enough for bin liners but I’m a glass half full person and tend to the view that technology might just rescue us from the effects of global warming.
You're quite the one for saving the planet. What a hypocrite
Gosh! 
Where did that come from?
I don’t use nespresso things but I understood that the pods are in fact recyclable.
As for Brabantia bin bags, the point about them is that because they are thicker and stronger, they never split, so you don’t get the contents of the bin bag leaking into your bin.
This means that the actual bin needs less cleaning = less use of cleaning sprays.
Is it possible to buy bin bags that biodegrade when they go to landfill? I’ve never seen any.
What I have found is that compost caddy liners which claim to be biodegradable don’t actually biodegrade in the compost bin and appear apparently unchanged at the bottom of the bin, so I have given up using them.
You're quite the one for saving the planet.
What a hypocrite
GabriellaG54 I think you're mixing me up with someone else. 
had a mooch around, and bought Brabantia bin bags
Brabantia bin bags are so worth it, aren’t they?
Like double cream 
I think I'll put a couple of drops of vanilla into this cream I've in the fridge.
From now on I'll whip smaller amounts at one time.
Or eat more of it
No offers at Peter Jones - obviously I don't look in need of a cake!
Dumped my used Nespresso pods, had a mooch around, and bought Brabantia bin bags ..... I used to lead quite an exciting life, don't know what happened!
My stern face is well-practised riverwalk
Riverwalk dessert is the treat of the day, along with the wine of course.
I don’t have snacks and I haven’t eaten 
since we finished the Christmas cake several weeks ago.
Yesterday I was in John Lewis and the ‘partner’ urged me to get a JL card on the grounds I’d be eligible for a free cake once a month.
It occurred to me that that's almost as bad as dishing out free cigarettes and in years to come might well be regarded in that way.
Cream!!! I remember cream!!! 
I had a creme brulee about four weeks ago.
Mind you, I don't look like someone who foregoes puds! Something not quite right here.
Dessert every day!
Yes, we know how to live in Northumberland Riverwalk
