Why no posts?

While my blogging frequency here on Treading Lighter wasn’t anything to write home about; I feel that there’s been a sufficient absence of new posts that probably deserves an explanation and apology.

My apologies firstly to any of you who may have been checking back here to see if there were any updates, the explanation is this…

About 4 months ago, I made a conscious decision to stop watching the news. Mostly due to the fact that the lack of action on environmental issues displayed by our esteemed national and international leaders was frustrating me to the point that I’d be shouting at the TV when they strated sprouting their latest piece of face-saving spin. And with an impressionable 3yr old in the house – that’s not a good look for Daddy!

Of course, what I didn’t realise at the time was that in making that decision – my passion for writing about these things also ebbed away, and so the resulting cessation of posting.

On the flip side, I have discovered my new outlet, and much like my previous post saying we should just get on with it, that’s exactly what I’m doing.

You may remember in my Goals Update around May this year I mentioned we now had some space to grow our own veggies. Well I’m happy to report, we’re now up to some 20 varieties of fruit & veg around the house (and I’m scouting for areas to put more as move into the summer months.)

So to wrap up, I hope to be bringing you (at least) slightly more frequent updates on the Treading Lighter lifestyle, but if nothing’s happening – nothing’s happening! Now stop reading and go and plant something…
