Sun finally - helps us go green!

What a difference the sun makes. After freezing miserable weather, yesterday and today the sun has finally decided to shine and that beautiful blue sky is everywhere.

It just shows us how much light we are going to get in our north facing family area. Bring on Spring!This sun also is doing wonders for our newly installed solar panels, which hopefully soon will assist with our energy bills and most importantly help the environment.

Hope you too had a lovely sunny Saturday.

Earth Hour - a candlelit evening

For Earth Hour last night we decided to make an event of it, had friends over for dinner and had an evening by candle light. Made for some interesting photo effects.

Earth Hour is a fantastic idea for getting people to think about the environment and this year they are calling on people to go beyond the hour.

This we are trying to do with our day to day in our household making sure things are turned off at the switch and only heating rooms when required. We are also looking at sustainability with our build - double glazed windows, rain water tank and solar panels to name a few.

Hope you having a good weekend, our kids really enjoyed the candle light last night.
