A collection of letters I wrote on the way to see the 2017 total solar eclipse in Oregon, USA.
If you received one of these letters, I’d love to hear from you!

Had an amazing day for @loveyourbookshopday on #Saturday. I managed to drop into the @national_library_of_australia for themed #brunch at @bookplatecafe and a browse at the bookshop, then on to #morningtea, #cupcakes and #drawing at @paperchainbookstore, #contests at @harryhartogbookseller Woden and finally #prosecco at @musecanberra.

Still working on my #mayonnaise game! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #cooking #food #foodgasm #foodporn #foodofinstagram #japanesefood #japanesepancake@plasticfreejuly Day 31: This is all the single use plastic I used this month. I'm a bit disappointed it wasn't zero, but also this is a tiny fraction of a wheely bin. When it's just Sam and I, we're lucky if we need to put the bin out every fortnight. So here is my plastic audit for 1 month: - postage packaging - postage tape - packaging from whiteboard - small sealed plastic bag - 2 x dishwasher tablet packet - gladwrap - packaging for baby spinach - sauce container - chip packet - bread tie - oreo packet - 2 x plastic lid seals - quinoa pack - pasta pack - shoe postage packaging - garlic bread packaging - tofu packaging - Twirl packet - cheese packing - plastic tag from shoes - packaging from notepad - vegan cheese packaging My lessons: 1. Going plastic free is difficult but you can definitely cut down a LOT of plastic with some small changes. 2. Going TOTALLY plastic free may be financially out of reach for some people but everyone can afford things like replacing bin bags with junk mail. 3. Postage, cheese and snacks are definitely the worst offenders for me. 4. Pasta and grains are also often wrapped in plastic but you can get them plastic-free in wholefoods shops, though they are often more expensive. 5. A lot of plastic is incidental, and you do have to be on top of saying no to things like straws. 6. People are really understanding if you bring your own containers when shopping or getting takeaway. 7. Lots of people are really unsure how to recycle. Make sure you check your local council and get familiar with their rules. 8. Going 100% plastic free is hard, but going mostly plastic free is doable. #plastic #plasticfree #plasticfreejuly #ecoinstagram #recycle #reducereuserecycleFacebook
