I'd given up posting about it because I didn't feel I was doing very well! But when I look at our culture I realise I've made some good changes - simply being conscious of our spending habits is a step in the right direction. Well apple chutney it is for me this week as well. Like you, I'll keep them for friends but it's a lovely to go through the process of making something with free food from the garden - that act in itself is so rewarding and is one that money can't buy ;) Hello Hugh,

Who are "normal" people and what is the correct etiquette for them? Are they the ones who sit in their cars in traffic jams every day, spending money they don't have on things they don't need to make sure they fit in. I'm sure thats why we have such financial difficulties at the moment... I have a few jars of apple chutney to barter, but I don't know anyone in the middle of Nottinghamshire who has anything to barter, so I keep a few spare jars as "thank you's" for friends instead. They will last a while and didn't cost much to make but are they always gratefully received...is this barter?!!! Thanks for the blog, and particularly keep up with the "buy nothing" thread. I suddenly feel like being green is a little more "normal". Cheers Hugh Hi
