Trying to save the world one bus trip at a time. But I have been very lucky to get a few lifts from my workmates. AND The rain has kept me from the washing line so tumbled dried some clothes. Why oh why does this feel like confession?
The best part about subsistence farming is the pleasure of working the land and harvesting the crops, we (the western world) are so removed from this process, we work jobs that show little or no rewards for our labour. Eating beans, lettuce, figs, radishes, herbs, peppers and rocket leaves from the garden gives pleasure and satisfaction. We water, weed, talk to and care for our plants and they bear fruit for us to eat.
Another thing I am thoroughly enjoying is wearing the clothes I have made. I am still waiting for someone to point and laugh or a stitch to come undone and my skirt to fall down... but so far only good feedback and even a few compliments. I have used my existing bought clothes as a pattern and tried to keep it simple with stretch fabrics. I have something new to wear tomorrow which cost next to nothing and was fun to put together. WOHOO!
