Miniscoff - between meals
interesting links
We just wanted to share a few ideas that tickled our fancy. Ideas for playing, ideas to inspire the imagination, or simply good ideas for shopping...
» www.playingoutdoors.co.uk
A local but, nevertheless, inspirational example of back-to-basics 'real' adventure for children. We need more people like Edward and Rachel.
» www.bynature.co.uk
Eco-shopping of all kinds - check out the cardboard tepees in the toys section.
» www.notonthehighstreet.com
Great place for a nice bit of retail therapy - just some well selected stuff in one place that might otherwise take a month of Sundays.
» www.ecotricity.co.uk
Green energy supplier of choice to the Soil Association, WWF, Christian Aid and the Ecologist. Amazingly, cheaper than our previous supplier AND invest the most in building new supplies.
» www.tractorland.co.uk
A fun introduction to the farm and all that goes on there.
» www.localfoodweb.co.uk
A good directory for finding local food that IS grown locally too. From farmers' markets to farm shops, delis and mail order, you can even join a forum to ask for recommendations.
» www.blueforest.com
This site will either fire up all those dads out there to get creative in the garden or kill off the urge entirely. Tree houses of your dreams - just don't show the kids!
» www.paperairplanes.co.uk
A pretty good helping hand to get you trying out more than just that tired old paper dart we all made at school - designs for stunts, for speed, accuracy and the all important longest flight.
...watch this space for more or different ideas to come.
