Dark Ages

Hello Folks & thanks for all your comments & good wishes!

Our phone line came down in the storms on Friday night, which means no telephone or internet & our mobile phones have no signal within a mile of the house...

We're visiting a free WIFI pub to get our fix, but looks like we're in for a quiet week or more... BT are "hoping" to get us reconnected by January 7th!

See you when we're back on & look forward to some quiet time during January to catch up properly with everyone... 


Happy New Year!!!

Love Kay, Sime & Hugo xxx

    Hi all glad you are ok although somewhat slightly disconnected. Has Hugo been practicising his tight rope walking again! Tut tut. (only joking) Hope you had a good Christmas look after yourselves and hope this New Year is everything you want it to be and lots more
    Take care

    Hi Kay and Sime,

    Like the sound of that 'free' wifi.

    What a pain to be without your connections.

    Just to let you know that your sealed pot is our 'guest' on SEALED POT SUNDAY this week. I hope you are still doing well with the savings.

    Glad to hear you're connection to the world has been restored. Strange to think how we all managed without the internet before.

    Best wishes for 2013

    Thanks Karin - we do use our computer more than our phone & it's how we tend to keep in touch with family, friends & customers. Being without the phone felt a bigger issue, all our neighbours have been away over the holiday period, so it suddenly felt very isolated here... Nice & quiet though, but I did feel concerned about leaving Hugo on his own overnight. We don't have mobile signal either here, so it is difficult... But we're back on & all is well!

    Kay :)

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
