At the start of the year, while we were on a campervan in the south island I discovered these amazing bamboo cloths. They're supposed to be a replacement for paper towels, but they're so much more than that. We have a big tub of them in a kitchen drawer and use them for literally every kitchen cleaning task.
Fabulous beach walk in the winter sunshine today, but so disappointing to come home with two full carrier bags full of plastic rubbish from the beach. Next time I'll take a grabber tool and more bags. We definitely left the beach in a better state than we found it.
