  • If you have a  bicycle that’s broken or gathering dust, please donate to charity rather than throw it out with hard rubbish collection. Opp-shops will take those in good order. Broken ones too can be donated. Just check charities in your area. Bikes are repaired and sent to people in need to whom a 🚲 will mean the world. I emailed Bicycles For Humanity, a volunteer run charity. They were happy to collect the bike. Easy. Thank you Phil from @b4h.melbourne !
  • I caught the soap making bug a few years ago thanks to a good friend and never looked back. When I’m not baking or teaching baking, I love to mix my own oil combinations and experiment. All ingredients, except the lye I guess, are natural. Pure essential oils are added and sometimes other ingredients like cocoa, ground teas, dried greens, oats, cinnamon, calendula etc. All soaps are made using cold process hence they need to cure for at least 6+ weeks. Now is a good time to make soaps for Christmas presents 🎁. On the picture above I have coconut laundry soap, shampoo soap, some marbled versions and goat’s milk soap. .

  • Made virtually kilos of comfrey cream using homegrown comfrey root 😅. Little jars, when jazzed up with labels and ribbons, will make great presents 🎁. Comfrey, also called Knitbone, is easy to grow. Homemade cream can be made from roots in late autumn/winter or from leaves in spring and summer before flowers appear. 
The cream is used in healing broken bones, sprains, bruises, etc.

  • Stinging nettle & beetroot stalks tart. Actually I should call it “whatever greens I could find in the garden” tart, as in there I have some Tuscan kale, silverbeet, parsley, beetroot leaves and wild rocket, too. Love the very distinctive taste of nettles 😋.
