Just a quick link posted below, to show the results of
last night’s global Earth Hour activity.
It was certainly interesting to try and
read by candlelight, really took some
adjustments, but the beauty and the glow
of the different atmosphere temporarily
brought reality back to an older, bygone era.

GREEN EGGS!
These lovely, truly free range eggs hail from
the foothills of the ancient “Grampians” , an area
near Ararat in Victoria, Australia.
Shelley and Alan Green lovingly care for their hens,
which are given all the room they need to feed and forage
in the green pastures all day, and are kept safe at night by two
beautiful dogs. The eggs are produced using state of
the art facilities, with humane methods and sustainable
farming practices. They deliver their produce straight
to the urban seller, so there is no time lag with handling or
spoilage to quality. And they taste great!
Explore the link above to find out more about
Green Eggs!
