Pinkie up and about
Pinkie continues to improve. When I got to the allotment this morning I found her wandering about. She had pushed open the goathouse door. Before her operation she was allowed to wander in and out of the goathouse day and night so we have now taken the decision to leave the door open 24/7. She has a small infection in her caesarean scare but it is getting better, though we continue to monitor it. We sprayed an antibiotic on it yesterday. We are at the point now however where we feel confident she is going to make a recovery.
Until 2009 I was working in London, UK, but I gave it up to pursue a life of self-sufficiency. My aim is to grow or forage for all my food, produce my own power and live a healthier and greener lifestyle. I left London to return to my home village of Sunniside, near Newcastle, in the North East of England. I have a couple of plots of land there as well as the garden of my house. Our village is a commuter area for Newcastle but we are surrounded by countryside which we use for picking wild foods. My mission in life is to show that it is possible to live well without destroying the planet in the process. I am also keen to ensure knowledge of historic recipes and cooking is kept alive. I regularly try out recipes from old cookbooks using the food we have grown. I make videos about our progress and about how to cook home-grown foods.
