Hello!

Welcome to Trail of Breadcrumbs.

My aim in making this site is to chronicle our efforts to live in a more environmentally friendly way. Let me tell you a little bit about us.

We are a family of four with a single, self-employed income. We live rurally in a part of the United Kingdom where there isn’t access to regular public transport or large, centralised communities. The nearest place you might call a large town is over an hour’s drive away. Our nearest supermarket is 30 minutes’ drive. There is no chance of glass-bottle doorstep milk delivery where we live (though I wish there was).

What we do have is an abundance of opportunities to forage wild foods, an amazing garden which we plan to work and a wonderful community.

I hope the things that I discover and chronicle here will help other people make changes which could potentially reduce their outgoings – both financially and environmentally.
