I was taught to always smell the stem end of rockmelons & honeydews. If they don’t have a sweet smell I won’t buy them. Annoying now that nearly all fruit is refrigerated & not ripe when sold. Also, pluck one leaf out of the top of pineapples. If it comes out easily the pineapple is ripe...

is yours a case of See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak evil? Surely reporting the issue and throwing attention on the damage that can be caused by long term ingestion of microplastics is better than sticking your head in the sand for a few years then saying “Why wasn’t I warned years ago that I...

Lazy Sunday Afternoon on Moreton Bay This photo was taken by my brother-in-law while we were walking along the esplanade near Victoria Point

Our daughter was determined not to spend hours in labour ward, which happened with her first born. With her second baby she had a doula help her through labour at home. I'm an 'old' midwife and, although she was handling her pain really well, I knew she was staying home too long but daughter...

Definitely the way forward. All countries should ban single use plastic. Like your article on Aldi's cling wrap, don’t use it!

Yes it lasts for a very long time…. In fact, depending on the quality of cling wrap, it takes between 10 and hundreds of years to decompose! DONT BUY IT!

For years I have been putting all left over crackers and biscuits from opened packets in resealable snack bags and storing them in the freezer. They keep for weeks and still have the freshly opened taste and texture.
