My favourite British green/simple living/craft blogs

I read A LOT of green/simple living blogs – some religiously, others only when the subject particularly appeals. There is such a wealth of knowledge out there and inspirational actions, not from proclaimed experts or media stars but from a range of people living (or trying to live) “simpler” lives. (I share my favourite posts here – http://www.google.com/reader/shared/louisa.parry)

However, the vast majority of the bloggers are from the US and while a lot of the information transfers over here, it’s nice to read stories from British bloggers too – their photos show familiar hilly landscapes not alien prairies or mountains, they talk about tea & Jaffa cakes, and they have small, climate-challenged gardens & no chance of an allotment this side of the year 3000.

So anyway, on with the links:

Frugal favourite: Notes from the Frugal Trenches
Wiry inspiration: Alison Bailey Smith’s abscraft blog
Best for colour: Attic 24
Best lack of colour: Fine Little Day (Ok, not a British blog but still contrasts wonderfully with the last one!)
Wild wood/living: Hunter-Gatherer-Cook/Man Up A Tree
Super greenies: Alice in Blogland, My Zero Waste & Green Eyed
Green fingers and egg collectors: My Tiny Plot, The Compost Bin & The Cottage Smallholder
Most likely to make me drool: Eat like a girl
Beauty in everything: Three Beautiful Things
