High Impact Week

We have cleaned 12 properties in the last week & occasionally have worked into the evening.
We seem to have been out lots too & so we ended up shelving No Impact Week because we really didn't have time to think about it - let alone do it!

So as well as clean...

We visited St Ives Guildhall...

And saw Mark Thomas

Who was a brilliant storyteller...

We ran the home education meeting & fought off a church cafe - who had taken over our space during the Summer & who announced that the kids were no longer allowed to play in the music room.
The place is a teenage centre which we get to use during the day, we use it because it is perfect for teenagers - a fully equipped music studio in the attic, a kitchen - where we can support the kids to dish up some lunch & it also has a basement for chilling out in.
So a battle began... Sime & the kids decided to continue with their usual racket & yesterday, we heard that the church group want to swap their day - phew!

It's been a lovely time of catching up with friends & enjoying meals together - it seems such a long time since we last did it, so thank you - a delicious meal cooked by Jane, Simon, Madi & Biby - as wonderful as ever guys! You know we'll pay you back in the Winter...XXX
And a fab meal out with Lesley & Melvin in Fowey - we had a great night out & look forward to doing it again! XX

We also caught up with our friend Stuart O'Connor, who is a real-life troubadour, a lovely, lovely guy & we are all very fond of him.


This time he was touring Cornwall with a friend from Japan, Goga.





We're going on holiday in a few days time & at the same time, Rose & Asa will be moving out...

They have found a garden flat in Falmouth, so will be near to Sal & Ryan.

We are really pleased for them, but it is also sad too - our baby girl is leaving us & we will miss her terribly. We know from experience it will get easier in time & it's going to be lovely for the girls to be close again.

It's going to be strange returning home to an empty house, but we'll not think about that just yet...


Goodnight!

Kay & Sime xx

    Glad you are okay was just about to send an email to make sure everything was okey cokey. Perhaps I should call you the "Gad abouts"! Glad you have been working hard but equally playing hard and I hope your holiday does you both the world of good. Just chill. You look a lot better in you photo and hope everything is going well with the meds. Just look after yourselves and enjoy you well earned break - catch up when you get back

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b

Our Neighbours

The ladies next door have been giving birth in the field. Their babies are like any other babies - they sleep, they feed, they follow their mums everywhere, they run around, then fall asleep again.  These little beauties are completely unaware of their fate... But we know... And this is one thing which makes living here difficult. How can people eat other beings without feeling terrible?     It just doesn't make sense. Both the posters are from the  Cornwall Vegans  website. If you are in Cornwall or will be on Saturday 22nd April - do support this event! Perhaps you have been considering veganism - this  Vegan Starter Kit  will help you to get started and if you have any questions, need help or ideas for recipes - just ask, we are always happy to talk to folks who want to change their diet for the better.

Nettles

Our garden yesterday. Tall Nettles TALL nettles cover up, as they have done These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. This corner of the farmyard I like most: As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. ~ Edward Thomas ~ Every time we venture out to pick nettles, Sime always goes on about this poem! Anyway, thought I'd share with you the article I've written for next month's Parish Magazine... Our hedgerows are coming alive with food aplenty, but hardly anyone really notices the nettles that surround us, they grow quietly while using their juices to produce a medicine that can bring health. Anaemia, arthritis, rickets, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, colds, catarrh and lymphatic problems can all benefit from this wonderful wild and free super food. Nettles are rich in ca
