Shopping locally

It is sometimes hard to find plastic free shopping in rural village shops but our (The Hutts) local – Matfen Village Store and Coffee Shop – supply paper bags to use for your warm pasties, fresh local veg, home cooked deli goodies and a selection of sweets.  The shopping baskets are even wicker rather than plastic.

Local vegetables with choice of paper or plastic bag to put them in.

We are having a petrol free Saturday so I (Sally) cycled to Matfen for the newspaper and a few essential supplies for plastic free pizza tea – namely ham and tomatoes.  To fuel my return journey I had scrambled egg on toast and a drink of Fentiman’s Ginger Beer (a slight breaking of the rules as the metal top of the bottle has a small plastic lining).
