On home ground...

Leaving the crenelated thinking of the dominant first world order behind,may be the first positive step towards independent personal progress.The distance from a viable sustainable existence,call it a "life" if you like,is well illustrated here.The back view of a last world pioneer might well become the most enduring memory retained by voyeuristic camp followers. Today your future was breaking stone with a lump hammer, he'll do some more once his late breakfast is settled.
You did well to make a start here little un, I am sure it wasn't half as painful as you imagined. Better late than never. The on going iz well in hand, many buckets of mortar have been knocked up since your departure. We will get some more lime tomorrow, on the way to or from cutting more wood in the coppice in preparation for Emile's tractor bringing the goods home. This makes more sense than shopping. Fuel and useful materials for winters ahead, ensures that we wont have to pimp ourselves out cap in hand for cash when the cold season is upon us. Last night got close to freezing, I'll light the stove. The last of the aubergines have been picked, Anne-Sophie helped her mam harvest all the outside tomatoes and peppers. Time flies, it's another today and yesterday's post is not yet published. The blog takes second place to the life.
I have been cracking stones since dawn. This is my tea break.
