The notion that life is going on somewhere else, not here…Most people have to be continually on the move because pleasure or experiences are contained in all of those other places…
If you can stay still in one place all of that experience might come to you… Being committed to one place can feed you sufficiently.
Five years ago today we came to this place. It is feeding us sufficiently – and we don’t mean vegetables.
Here are some memories from the first of those five years
City dog wondering where she is
City hens Molly & Delilah happy to be where they are
City guinea-pigs Anna May & Flo speechless
City tree breathing deeply
Family bring us appropriate presents
Our new neighbours
New services
Starting to plan the patch
New birds
New insects
Lots of room for guests
Building new facilities
Preparing for new arrivals
New plants
New babies
…and getting bigger
New visitors
Spot arrives
Followed by Bert
Old friends reunited
More babies…
Sheila
Fanny
New views
New harvest
and old
…in abundance
Learning the West is wetter than the East
…and more windy
New ways to get meat
First Christmas
Although the dinner escaped
Christmas dinner for Spot
Bert ponders the meaning of life
