Going Dutch

Léah & Jorrik

We've had an entertaining few days with the guests who left today.
They both have a theatrical background...
 Léah is a jazz singer, dance & yoga teacher. Jorrik is a musician, actor & carpenter.

Below are videos of their performances...

They enjoyed their time here - exploring the coastal paths & beaches...
And our evenings have been filled with vibrant conversation, songs & laughter!
So far all our guests have left a big impression on us, sharing their lives & filling us with ideas.
It is exhausting entertaining lots, but it's interesting to see & hear how others live.
We have learnt lots already, but also have taught lots too...
We have inspired folks with our bread & beer making, vegan cookery & our simple living - which is lovely!
It doesn't take much to make us happy...
 But we are very grateful to be meeting so many lovely folks right now!
Hope you are all having a good week.
Kay & Sime

    Yess!!

    we really enjoyed the inspiring, tasty and nutricious breakfasts and dinners we shared with Kay and Simon, sharing life expiriences, silly fantasies and the common background Simon and I share being bassplayers. A shivering night as they told us about a house they once lived in, that had a will of its own..or the beings in it? Me myself I have a few monsters that haunt my inner self, as the video will show..
    We had a real culture shock after our stay, entering the London subway on our way home, were people seem to have gotten used to a stressed an agressive way of being and moving around.
    Thank you Simon and Kay for a lovely stay at your peaceful residence!

    Liefs, Jorrik and Léah

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
