We walked the land yesterday whilst we had the glorious sunshine! Our proposal was accepted to steward the 1.48 acres that I have been deeply connected to on and off for 30 years, and was our little garden back in 2016 - 2017 before my mum needed me closer to her before she passed. We love this land, its roughAF at the moment, but I know it so well, and with a bit of initial input from a good mow we can start gently over the next few months when we are between house sits...and come August we are moving into the village literally 20 yards from the land. I did get chatGPT to make a (not accurate at all) image of what it will become as it always helps with a visual. Both of us have decades of permaculture experience, but...currently dealing with bodies that go 'ouch' a LOT...so, this will be an incredible process to document...how to steward land with physical limitations and devotion to Gaia... We have had heritage seeds donated so far for when we are ready to begin sowing - this year really is for the defining the areas; Where the main herb spirals will be, and laying the membrane for the willow fedge around the chicken gardens. CLEARING (so. much of that) And recovering from each days activities!!!

I'm planning a food experiment next month - my partner and I are going to eat like it's 1940 - meals based on the typical rations for the day (might need some help re the points system). All fruit/veg will be British and seasonal, processed foods kept to a minimum - hoping I might lose a few lbs as well, haha. Has anyone else considered doing this?

Hi all I’m our beautiful community sorry I’ve not posted a lot in the last week. We move next Tuesday from Suffolk to Somerset so lots happening. I was just going to let you know I’ve been ask to speak at the Harrogate Flower Show 2026. I’ve been ask to speak on the benefits of producing your own good quality peat free compost. Last year I had the pleasure of visiting a farm near Grimsby where they produce large amounts of compost from 3 ingredients they produce on the farm. I reckon 2026 is the last chance we will have access to buy the basics we need to produce food. 🙏💪👍❤️
