The need to get away and grow a few herbs or veggies is very strong in many people these days. I think it has a lot to do with taking control of a small part of your life. Growing herbs for health, vegetables and flowers for well-being. It's not a new trend, it comes in and out of fashion on TV, but here in blogland it's possible to see that it means a great deal to so many people that it can encourage huge lifestyle changes.
It's been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember and when I was at school I dearly wanted to go to Agricultural college, but wasn't allowed, for various reasons! The ambition never left me though and after collecting an Ark of animals over the years, I realised that I needed a much bigger place to live with them. Now I have my dear BF beside me, our dreams have merged and so off we go to France. Yes, it's scary and nerve-wracking, but it's more scary to sit still and simply talk about it.
ps. Spicy nuts got his name as I was watching him lurking in the garden while Moomin read out a recipe title. We got our wires a little crossed but the name has stuck :D
I would hazard a guess that it is an apt name for a free ranging Tom cat.
ReplyDeletei am glad that Finn is ok...i worry about a few of my cats as they are getting up there in age.
ReplyDeletebut i think you hit the nail on the head with the encouragement that other bloggers can provide to each other in regards to eating healthy, growing your own food, etc.
and i cannot wait to hear about all of your adventures in france!
your new friend,

You are lucky to be young and starting a new adventure. Perfectly at peace by the way in growing old, all of a sudden there is no need to strive. As for your little cat don't worry too much.
