what do you think? i am going to take them to the bulldog with me if the weather is anything like its been lately...lol... so you will see a biker chick..( well old boiler of a chick really) with my black goth leather look.. with pretty wellies on.... what a sight... especially the morning after the night before...
Over the years i have bought loads of gardening....self suficiency books... and in general the 'good life' style books... and i found this one last night called LIVING ON A LITTLE LAND by Patrick Rivers it was written in the early 70's which i quote 9 written on the back of the book)
This is a book for those who, by choice or circumstances, are having to tighten their belts.The never ending spiral of inflation remains a constant factor in our lives...
Its about a couple who bought a run down ..overgrown...neglected property with land... a good read...
in one of the chapters... there is advice which to be honest is a very good and valued point for me...
quote....' Before embarking on your venture you have plenty of homework to do. You can prepare for it generally by weaning yuorself off city habbits, such as convienience foods, eating out, entertainment. you can learn about farming and other usefull skills, meet like minded people, read, and accquire capital by saving..
It also goes on about other things... and i thought yep... this guy is right.. if i want a smallholding... its all well and good daydreaming about it all, but i must learn the skills and also the mind set that will be needed.... so good job i have started trying to grow some veg again...AND..... going to try and cook more from scratch.. and try and bake more cakes and busicuits rather than buy them...
