Chrispy Christmas and Beyond unto the Newyears Eve


So Christmas it was in family we were with, the home of our Granny and Aunt Linda with Uncle Jacinto and Brother Robbie. Short and sweet would be a good description ..
Picked up Rob in London and spent a night on the floor then back to drop Rob in London, Dropping him at Gatwick was lucky as he may have missed his flight otherwise. Gatwick ment a Brighton Detour and a final Joy in finding boots for HElena.. Yahh!! So many shops so many boots i feel like well the other boot of the one who sits alone on shelves..ya know what i mean..
Pretty hard days of work for three days, pretty exhasted and starting to look forward to weekends. Learnt about fencing!!!
My heart is still burning to be doing good work and Africa calls ever strongly, my time feels worthless at times yet i know its working itself out. The safe lure of the materialisims comforting stroke has no needle of ease on my heart and my need for doing whats right.
Developments are under way as an illustrator has taken the project to create a booklet,, we just need information to trance fer into images. A navigator has come on board, none other than the jet himself.
The organisations constitution is being magnitised towards our present reality headed by the name,,, just outer reach..
The New year beckons with a silent swing of time. A short travel and a realitively brief merger will be the proposed endever. Some serious boogying will be the transfering activity inbetween years, with a pop of a bottle of bubbleeeeee..
Greatest Start to all for this New year,, new beginings underway!! Trajectory has the potential for realighnment or just Maintained.

DAy light slipping darkness



















So yes, just as a chicken does, i'm slipping my production due to the decrease in light. Shit!
I was waking at 5:15am last winter milking and eating breaky at 7:15 on the weekend .. Now i struggle or feel it anyway at 7:oo... somethings a foot??
Must be my will,, under foot,, squashed!! Looking at it anyways.. Theres isnt this need to be up early, i do enjoy that, but sleep world is very seductive,, especially dreams,, much better on the brain screen!!
I'll work it out.
Let go of my cafe' job for the prospective cleaning placement at the local Waldorf School!! Much more regular.. Closer nitting~~
Hope you like the chicken hes from Botton village in Yorkshire..

Seed working


This last Thur till Sun i was blessed to be appart of the severn valley bidynamic apprentice course in Botton Village Yorkshire. The focus of the time was seeds.
What an education and what an eye opener.
The commercial plant species( an animal) as we know them are under serious threat.
The corporations who are pulling the strings are encoraging the supermarkets to encorage the scientists to be inspired to design the plants of the future.
No slow steady plant selection exsists anymore on that market, no open pollination exsists.
Laboratory work is where plants evloution is at hand. An work with no vision outside of money.
Old breeds of plant and animal are now becoming exstinct as the new Hybrids, GM and non GM have the only place. One can not keep ones seed as much does not have seed as well much is sterile.

This is a very dark tunnel which i have only just looked down, the organic movement in the Uk as great as it is has not seemed to take up the task of growing for seed therefore they buy from these companies those seeds which are organic but only first or second generation,, This is unstable as well as supportive of the wrong industry.
The biodynmamic seed group is attempting to pool there seeds and work with the farmers to maintain plant varieties and soon look at breeding there own plants( not in a lab and no interbreeding but open poolinated careful selection) The carrot variety from Botton is 15 yr as a biodynamic plant..

Any who!! The time was good and i learnt alot ablout the way to select and develop a crop over time. It was a very useful weekend and i had fun.

Botton is a very special place and i would recommend it to anyone to visit when in the Yorkshire area. It is an excellent example of community living.
