Hello, I'm Rachel a 25 year old writer, knitter and activist living in Oxfordshire with my husband. Life With The Roof Down is a slow and sustainable lifestyle blog where I document my journey trying my best to help our planet and its people through buying better, creating a handmade wardrobe and trying to be as low waste as possible. 

I often have a lot of friends and family wanting to be more sustainable and ethical but they just aren't sure where to start. I think this is the case for a lot of people so I try my best to share helpful tips, information and inspiration to encourage people on their journey to living a slower more sustainable way of life. 

None of us will be able to do sustainability perfectly but if we all try to do better we can make a huge impact on our planet. Never underestimate your power to make change happen, individual small actions build up to big changes for our world and its people. 

I hope you find this space to be useful and inspiring. Thanks so much for stopping by and keep up the good work towards creating a better planet.
