Unfortunately I've come over to England to care for my father, but you'll be in good company 🙂

We ended up with more chickens than planned, so have added an egg honesty box at our local spring, where they disappear in no time.

Also with a little built-in book exchange!

So food, drink and the written word. Essentially now our community's local supermarket, with all essential needs catered for! 😁

@b9AcE Their movie "Kneecap" is absolutely fantastic—- check it out!

All of us here at #TheHappyPig watched it a month or so back and adored it!

A nice interview recorded last year with new group 'Moneyless Society', building on our ways here at #TheHappyPig:

I love this reflective NBC piece about the wonderful climate scientist @ClimateHuman, and his search for sanity in a crazy world.

Which leads him to the #PossibilityAlliance, and a life much like ours at #TheHappyPig.

Like him, I find little so deeply nourishing as living days that make sense, even though they don't 'save the world':
