I always read your work and step by step your words resonate with our life on our smallholding. I continue to be challenged by your optimism and hospitality. I am still very much a recovering community activist and after 15 yrs as a Minister in the church I now quietly tend our patch of earth and worship in quiet. I was deeply moved by ‘shallow graves’ ( too much so to write) and I know your love affair with all that lives around us intimately. I also share your frustration, although the catalyst for my action was beetroot! I have just bought a Jack called Milly to rat for me and protect our corn and root crops and your training tips are helpful. I mostly write now as your tears with the rain made be cry. I felt that someone understood this deep worship that is real. After many years of words describing and bounding the sacred I have given them all up. But crying with the rain is a sacrament bubbling up from the soul. Thank you. ( we have a Substack at Carters Smallholding that we rarely get time to write where you can see who we are)
