I would like to let you know how much I enjoy reading your blog. As my BBC blog is nearing an end – seeing as it was only for a month – I wonder if I could ask your help. I am compiling some “Top Tips” for readers trying to avoid plastic and would love your input.
It would need to be today/ this eve as it’s for a post tomorrow.
Please email me on the address supplied if you are able to help, I would be v grateful.
Best wishes

I tried it out today and it was pretty fun and ended up looking good but it took so long to make that the iron was on for ages. It might have been worth it if I’d used up loads of bags by weaving them together or something.
