Well, at age 59, I have been sent freebies by ๐Ÿ’š

Does this mean I am now an (old) eco influencer? Maybe the oldest in Scotland? ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ’š

Joking aside, I have used ecoegg laundry products for years. I don't want harmful, toxic, chemicals poisoning my body via artificially scented laundry products on my clothes! ๐Ÿคฎ

So we use ecoegg at home and for the laundry at Back Track Bothies, so these gifts are very much appreciated! ๐Ÿ’š

I have never tried the re-usable kitchen towels but they seem like a brilliant idea to me ๐Ÿ’š

And if you are lucky enough to have a dishwasher, then the washing machine detox tablets can be used to give it an interior spruce-up too ๐Ÿ’š

Thank you so much, ecoegg ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ So much appreciated, made my day, and now I guess I should put 'AD' in this text somewhere, or 'gifted'... ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ’š

Just to put it out into the universe, I am also partial to island malts and Green & Blacks chocolate... ๐Ÿ’š

With 650,000 visitors passing through Glenfinnan every year, community litter picks are essential to keep our village looking its best ๐Ÿ’š

We are on the A839 trunk road between Fort William and Mallaig, so there is a fair amount of bits and bobs that fall off passing traffic, or get left behind after roadworks etc ๐Ÿ’š

The last pic is a bit gruesome - a deer, probably killed on the road, but it's bones were picked absolutely clean by something ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ’š

It hadn't been there long, so it left me wondering what animal could have done this... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ’š

Bathing under the trees in rain, shine, snow or under the stars ๐Ÿ’š

Pure bliss ๐Ÿ’š

It's not easy being green! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ’š

I just spent 45 minutes of my life that I will never get back in a 'chat' ๐Ÿ’š

I had a Smart meter fitted at home 8 days ago by British Gas, so we could charge the EV on cheaper overnight electricity with our MyEnergi charger ๐Ÿ’š

British Gas said they couldn't give me an EV tariff until they see what electricity I use over an unspecified period of time... Why? Are some users more equal than others? Does it depend on your postcode? Or the vehicle you drive? Or your eye/hair colour? ๐Ÿ’š

Maybe they throw a dice, or use some weird electricity Sorting Hat? ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ’š

I think I will just ditch British Gas and go back to Octopus, which has its full EV tariff down to the last 10th of a penny, displayed proudly on its website ๐Ÿ’š

It will cost me ยฃ50 (early exit fee) to leave British Gas, but I feel after this afternoon, it's a small price to pay for my sanity ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ’š

Blessed Beltane to all, as spring starts to cross into summer ๐Ÿ’š

Thought we would share some of Mark and I's 'behind the scenes' sustainable practices ๐Ÿ’š

All of our cleaning products used in the Bothies - and at home - are refilled from 5-litre containers, or are sachets like these from which are topped up with water from the tap ๐Ÿ’š

Refilling existing sprays and bottles means:

๐ŸงดMinimum plastic bottle waste (plastic may not always be recycled)
๐ŸงดGentle on fixtures, fittings and you!
๐ŸงดNo nasty man-made chemicals
๐Ÿงด You can be adding water, like in this reel, rather than paying for it when buying a made-up bottle in the supermarket

And the clean is superb - no less than 5 star standard, it's in our reviews ๐Ÿ’š

Refill ๐ŸŒ€ Recycle ๐ŸŒ€ Re-use ๐ŸŒ€๐Ÿ’š
