As always, attempting to lighten my carbon dependency, I tried to bike to the pub yesterday. Dog lead fell through basket, caught in spokes and I was catapulted over the handlebars. Midnight found us in Bath casualty, a lady plastering my right arm. So Green Wife may go off the air for a few weeks (v slow typing with left hand).
I should have taken the car...

About Me
- Samantha Fletcher
- I'm the Green Party candidate for Chippenham, a marginal constituency in the heart of Wiltshire. I have lived here for nearly 14 years, with my husband, MArk, a wildlife film editor and GP candidate for Devizes, children, Alfie, 9, and Notty,7, and black collieXpoodle, Ethi. When not campaiging, I am the author of six books, including the international best-seller, A Fish Caught in Time - the Search for the Coelecanth, Pointing From the Grave, which won a Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction, and The Moneypenny Diaries trilogy. I am a member of Friends of the Earth and various local climate groups. I'm keen marcher and protester, grow my own veg, and walk or bicycle whenever possible. As a family we gave up non-essential flying four years ago, and don't have a tumble dryer. Over the last few years we have cut our carbon footprint by 90% with no obvious change to our lifestyle (except for not flying). I gave up shopping for 2008, and still do not use supermarkets.

Hi Sam - I hope you heal quickly - I'll miss reading your blog if you don't do it - can't you dictate to Mark??? haha
Lots of love and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear your effort to lighten your carbon dependency led you to a (temporary) plaster dependendy! I hope your recovery is going well. Cheers, and keep writing (whatever the hand :))!
