Monday evening walk

I went to work this morning and this afternoon went to a funeral the ninth since Christmas I hope this is not how the rest of the year is going to be.

After which I took the dogs out for a run the fly were out and flying low.
looking around the fields will soon be all yellow with the rape seed flowers.
I forgot to take my camera so no pictures tonight.

Tuesday night I cropped the dandelions over on the plot for another gallon of dandelion wine that's 3 gallons now 18 bottles should keep us going for the rest of the year.

The plot is across the road and I grow Veg and fruit without any weed killer and chemicals used at all and no dogs.

The Grass is mostly dandelions or Daises.

The best free crop on the plot is the dandelions the flowers are great in batter fried and the young leaves are OK in a salad a bit bitter compared to lettuce.

I have aways liked self- sufficiency since 1973 I used to take the magazine when it first came out I still take the country small holder, but I have now decided on the simple life as the title says.
You don't need lots of land and if you work it right. I walk or ride my bike down the country lanes its surprising what grows in the hedgerows.
Well Will call it night now.
