No Impact Week

We have been asked to take part in the The No Impact Experiment again.
It's good to remind ourselves of how lightly we wish to live & to feel encouraged to do so.

Work tends to make us lazy & we find ourselves talking about living simpler as a future event...
It's crazy, because both of us are passionate about living with no or very little impact.
We continue to dream of life being simple - living off-grid, no mains electricity or running water.
Having land to grow our own food & generate our own power.
We want to live as far away from other people as possible, to be somewhere very remote.
A place away from disrespectful tourists & silly neighbours...

To be in control of our lives, support ourselves & be truly happy, fit & healthy would be wonderful!

Our journey to simplicity begins on Sunday September 18th. 
It would be great if you would come along too!

    I love your dream. It is my dream too, even though my family thinks it would be a nightmare. Oh well, maybe in my next life.
    Good luck and have fun.

    I got one of those invites, too. I suppose it is a good idea to be reminded 6 (or 7) months on, but I don't think I'll be joining in this time. It made me feel I had to take things too much to extremes. I shall read your blog with interest, though, and may see areas I need to brush up on. It will be a tricky enough week as we shall be having some of the downstairs floors sanded and polished etc.

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b...

Nettles

Our garden yesterday. Tall Nettles TALL nettles cover up, as they have done These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. This corner of the farmyard I like most: As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. ~ Edward Thomas ~ Every time we venture out to pick nettles, Sime always goes on about this poem! Anyway, thought I'd share with you the article I've written for next month's Parish Magazine... Our hedgerows are coming alive with food aplenty, but hardly anyone really notices the nettles that surround us, they grow quietly while using their juices to produce a medicine that can bring health. Anaemia, arthritis, rickets, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, colds, catarrh and lymphatic problems can all benefit from this wonderful wild and free super food. Nettles are rich in ca...

Getting Back To basics

We've had another very busy week, but we are very happy to be escaping for a few days. We decided that as it's our Silver Wedding Anniversary on Monday, we should do something a bit different... So we're going to be staying in a yurt on Bodmin Moor! It's going to be wonderful... No computer. No phone. No work. Just time to chill out, enjoy some moorland walks, eat, drink, be merry & have lots of fun!!! See you when we get back. Kay & Sime xx
