Wespotted a few granos on Callum yesterday evening so, fearing more varicela might be going to keep him at home for a few days, Kate and I took him to look at the sunset on the lake again, no otters but a lovely 30 mins of tranquility. He did some great paddling into the sunset.
And sure enough next day he is covered in granos and feverish poor chap he hates taking medicine. BTW we are managing to have a few meals a week constructed soley of home grow produce, we picked some fresh basil today and it smelled like a different herb to what is available in most shops. We never intended to become self sufficient but it really is wonderul eating fresh picked veg going from plant to satisfied tum without all that processing packaging and transportation. During the 2nd WW the UK was covered in gardens and allotments full of food, I wonder what the environmental impact would be if we were back in that frame of mind again. It is not hard keeping a couple of hens, growing some beans and onions a few tomato plants and lettuces, if you are limmited for space a lot of veg does wll in big pots in the UK and it is surprising how productive and rewarding a few plants can be and for us at least it really is comforting knowing a fair proportion of our food has not been touched by pesticides or boosted by artificial fertiliser, irradiated fumigated etc etc.
