Your government thinks you are the scum of the earth, so lets think about the position we are all in instead of getting more stockholm syndrome!
I would love to live in an anarchist world.
I got the dogs back last night and it feels more normal now. I'm here nearly a week already and it's going fast, it's still taking a while for me to adjust and pleasing to hear birds tweeting and flowing rivers.
I'm walking up to the shop, it is a huge difference is your staying at the top of the track or the bottom of the track, because I remember measuring track online and it was 3km long! It's only 25 minutes away walking and when I lived further down the track it took 45 minutes.
With clouds it is a pleasure and without clouds in the daytime, its hell when the sun is out! I got 40L of compost soil, and also some baby leeks to be planted.
On the way back from the village I met an old friend who I thought had moved away but they are living again back down by the river.
I just got back and I'm laying down I planted some of the beetroot seeds because they had cracked open, some even had grown double roots unless they got stuck tight together and tricked me. I also got more flour and want to bake more bread but this time with potato and oats inside to make it more filling.
I did a bit more on the pumpkin patch taking out stones to make room for roots to grow. I remember perfect conditions for pumpkins are 60 cm soil and any plant needs at least 30cm on average.
I asked in the plant shop about straw bales and it seems to be the only one place selling them I hope they do delivery, if we can get them I won't have to dig any more, the straw bales also soak up the rain which means less m and weeds dont grow because there's nothing in the straw bales plus there would be ample growing space.
After time the straw bale breaks down turning into really nice soil - no-dig gardening is the way forward and I don't know anyone that doesn't have a a bad back already!

Time to eat now!
Have a great day,
