That sounds similar to my conversations with you too :rotfl::rotfl:

Oh yeah. A bit of transference there .

That sounds so lovely, Tilly - all I'd say is that that *is* retirement, in that you won't be travelling elsewhere to "sell" your labour - retirement from doing that, and instead filling your life with ways of making a good living, and a good life, with things, people and places that you love. More power to your elbow

Hey Tilly - hope you have had a safe and 'uneventful journey' back to us

I've just seen a post by Caterina on the OS board; Buy Nothing Day 29th Nov. 2014 and I thought that it may interest you. I have just watched the video (at the top of the page) and I think that it is an extremely slick and extremely contemporary way of making people think about their spending. It may (or may not) interest any teachers who have to include any financial education/general studies classes in their curriculum. Not as a method of indoctrination - just, 'we have adverts and marketing.... and then there's another point of view that looks at not buying stuff.......' The *rap* style may well engage a young audience (or it may not......... )

The video is about 4 minutes long - very good 'poetry' and the last image is ............

Edit: I forgot to add that the video ties in very nicely with MMM's latest post..........

Agreed GP, a very good film. That last scene sums it up perfectly.

Out of interest, if anyone who reads my MF diary keeps a small holding, I'd love to hear from them.

Thanks, Tilly x

You called :rotfl:


I have a smallholding (well I have 2 fields near my house which everyone calls a smallholding - I call it the fields:rotfl:)


We keep chickens and geese for eggs, we breed turkeys and sell some at Xmas and every few years we have lambs. We are contemplating pigs and have been meaning to do it for a few years but never get round to it.
(we also have 1 duck (rescue) and 2 goats who are a pain in the bottom)


What would you like to know?

Morning Greying, I've shared the video on FB as well. It would be good for all 15-20 yr olds to watch as well.

Thanks Tilly x

Morning Eager_Elephant, thanks SO much for stopping by.


How many acres do you have?
Have you felt the need to be organic? Sorry if I upset anyone but I'd just be happy to say free range to people.
Are you set up as a business to sell?
Do you find geese eggs sell well? That's just me being nosy, unlikely to have any

I'll PM you with more questions as I don't want to drive people mad with my inane questions.

Many thanks Tilly x x

Nooooo! As long as Eager Elephant's okay with it, please keep it on the thread! I'd love to read about it, and, um, its your thread anyway

Watty1

ohhhh please keep questions on thread ...its your thread anyway
Would love to read them.
Have 3.5 acres here and whilst the horses use them mostly I do have a hunch I could do better!
Was offered a pig by vet a couple of years ago but Mr Watty said no. Times are changing around here though and am hesitantly wondering if some of the land could be used????

Another vote to keep questions here on the thread! It makes for interesting reading - love the diversity of info we get across the threads! xx
