Fairtrade Fortnight

March 6, 2006

So, Fairtrade goods are starting to reach the High Street clothes shops - unfortunately that seems to be London's Oxford Street for the moment - however there are some online shops that I can recommend for the rest of us.

Buy fair trade organic cotton clothing online:

For those who like to see, touch and try before they buy, how about right here in Edinburgh's city centre? Go to the One World Shop, St. John's Church, Princes Street Edinburgh EH2 4BJ.

Enjoy!

And remember to buy fairtrade food whenever you see the logo:

  • Bananas
  • Citrus Fruits
  • Coffee
  • Tea
  • Mangoes
  • Sugar
  • Chocolate and cocoa
  • and much more…

Me and My Paella

March 4, 2006

I decided should add a picture of me somewhere, well here you are…This is me in Spain, going to get extra paella from the cook - in a lovely paella place next to the beach at Nerja, Andalucia.

And now for some close ups of the paella as they are much more interesting than more pictures of me…


Serving up some freshly cooked paella.


The plate of paella.


The cook, stiring up another bubbling paella for the hungry customers.
