Game changer! I’ve been putting the compost bins directly on the raised beds. We fill one, then the other, and then spread the first one out all over the bed it was on and move the bin to a new bed. Super easy, no carting of compost around, AND the garden benefits from it whilst it’s doing it’s magical compost work. Happy days!
On Sunday, Jane Goodall asked us all to notice the moon. To look at it next time and think, consciously, we’ve walked there. That humans decided they wanted to go, and within just over a decade we were there - walking on the moon. We know from the space race that we have the intellect, she said, for solving huge and complex challenges. We have the intellect to create a future on this planet that is sustainable. We just have to want it enough, in our hearts. We just have to put enough collective creative and scientific endeavour into it, to get there. Not to the moon, this time, but back to the planet that is under our feet. Her whole talk was called Rewind the Future - and I’ve looked differently at the moon ever since. We can do this. We’ve done it before.
A night of absolute, soul filling and stretching inspiration with the incredible Dr Jane Goodall. #rewindthefuture #janegoodall
Leafy Mcleaf face (official name).
An insect hotel now graces our garden, an unexpected last task and treat from our fabulous French wwoofers, Benjamin and Sarah, who’ve been with us the last two weeks. They’re nature guides when they are back in Brittany and Normandy, and brought heaps of ontological and entomological knowledge and passion with them. And they cooked crepes! And chestnut soup! A wonderful experience for the whole family (and the garden) and I hope they enjoy their further travels in this country immensely and see EVERY bird on their very long list. True nature lovers. Go well!
Ten harvest baskets from summer. So lovely to look at on a windy, wintry day.
