My only New Years resolution (only I call it action because resolution is always something in your head rather than something carried out) is to stop going to shops.  I’m going to shop monthly online and get all the basics delivered. Order an organic local box each week and find a milkman. If I need clothes i’ll buy shoes and undies from catalogues. The only shops i’ll go to are charity shops or boot fairs for clothes. I dont want to look back on my life and find I spent any more time than necessary in great ugly concrete, earth munching, consumer creating, greed encouraging, empires when I could be looking at the sea, standing in fields full of buttercups, writing a book, composing a song…who knows?
The milk and organic box may be more expensive but I’ll save by avoiding the distractions of displays, sales and bargains and the most precious thing of all, time!
