Just Humans Being...

I don't know why I've not blogged about this incredible local attraction before.... Usually, space junk burns up upon re-entry into the earth's atmosphere, but occasionally there are anomalies and here are two such objects. Launched in 1963 from the  фигня  launch pad deep in the heart of the former U.S.S.R., these  geostationary communication satellites performed their tasks impeccably until earlier this year   when a meteor shower struck them sending them both back to terra firma and a crash landing in a farmer's field nearby. Incredibly, no-one was injured by them, They rest virtually intact and look very much as they did  some 49 years ago. Local Lepidopterist  A.H.Oaks who was admiring the rare moth the Tisheria Dodonaea as the satellites impacted the field remarked :  " The M.O.D. boys were on the scene within 15 minutes, the field  was isolated  and I was told to keep quiet or run the risk of being pricked and mounted myself. I naturally stayed tight-lipped

We've wanted to see this film for a long time & we finally found it today.  We have both the books written by the main guys - Drs' Esselstyn & Campbell, which have been life changing. You can find the film here:  Forks Over Knives Hope you enjoy it! Kay & Sime xx

Being vegan is liberating... It feels so good to be eating foods that have no link to animal cruelty & the side effects of our diet have brought us good health, strength & happiness - not to mention the loss of unwanted weight! I have lost over 2 1/2 stone (38 lbs/17kgs/19 bags of sugar) since January... Sime's lost 2 stone too! We eat huge amounts of food, but it's all plant based & mega healthy. We kicked our chocolate habit & no longer crave crappy foods.  We can eat vegan chocolate now & again & enjoy it - without wanting to eat the whole bar! We don't eat any oil at home (though difficult when eating out) - we do eat a tablespoon of ground linseeds in our porridge, along with a spoonful of ground hemp seeds. Our meals are pretty simple, but delicious. We eat a variety of grains every day, at least 10 vegetables & fruits & 3 or 4 different pulses/legumes. Quitting dairy, eggs & oil has given our bodies a wonderful treat - no mor

Hugo has finally put his foot down... And insisted that it's time... . To lose his lovely locks... Sal last cut his hair just before we went to France in January last year... Wished mine grew that quick! We're a bit sad about it, as we always are when he has it chopped off... But we'll get over it & Hugo's thrilled to have short hair again, as it doesn't take so long to wash! Our lovely lad! Another change for us this week... Our bright green paintwork on the house has changed... Rose & Asa showing off our newly painted porch. Yes we're getting very fashionable now - no more bright green... We've gone for the more modern French grey! The weather keeps changing too... Thursday morning was dull, wet & miserable... So much so - lots of campers were leaving our little peninsula & getting in the way of us getting Hugo to the train station!  By the afternoon it was lovely & warm! (there's our tipi again) Before we arrived to

We've been so busy... Working with our little friends... In between jobs... Sime's been painting the walls at the back of the house. We've washed everything possible & dried it outside... We attended our friend, Ruth's "installation" as Priest of St Gomomda's in Roche... The church & her new home are just across from this rocky outcrop... More here We took Hugo for a meal out at  Archie Brown's  in Truro... Millet burger, sweetcorn salsa & salad. And a fabulous raw chocolate torte! Made with avocados & raw cacao beans...  After our meal in Truro, we dropped Hugo off at  The Surya Yoga Camp . He was working as a steward & assisting with some circus workshops... Chyan  is the community field where the camp is based. Compost loos... This is our tipi... We sold it to the community some years ago & it's great to see it's being used! Inside the tipi... This was Hugo's 4th time at Surya, as our friends are the s
