Freedom Manifesto



We've had this poster on our kitchen wall for many years & thought the beginning of a new year is a good time to share it with you...

The last days of 2011 have been very busy for us.
 Full of great times with family & friends...

The Dolphins Fly had a great last gig of the year & are all fired with enthusiasm...


And New Year's Eve was fun...
Sime joined up with local band Tin Fins in our local village hall & we had a good night.


Our Firework Video

But I got very drunk...

Spent most of New Year's Day in bed...

And felt so much better later on...

Back to work tomorrow!

    I like your seasonal background, although it does emanate a certain chill.

    Not sure about Anarchy. Much as I'd like a different system of government, if we had anarchy someone is bound to steal that loaf of bread you made, not to mention your spade,horse, quill and compost. Chances are someone would feel like burning down the village hall, too.

    It is possible we have a fairly good system in an imperfect world.

    Happy New Year everyone - though I'm sure I've already said this to you all on your own blogs...

    Karin that's a good point, but we'd like to think of anarchy as living freely, with respect for others without any politics being enforced upon us - Wouldn't that be nice!

    Catherine, it was red wine - a couple of glasses is my usual limit, but I ended up having a few more...

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. And in case you haven't seen this on iplayer - Here is  Simon Amstell's Carnage . Please, please think seriousl

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
