Thrifty living the Permaculture way, Part 1 – Food As the 70s went into the 80s I was a Punk Rocker and was influenced by the DIY ethos of the emerging Anarcho punk culture that emerged and was alternative to the arrival of the Thatcher and Reagan …

After a long-ish break from writing blogs, it feels like it the right time to start writing and posting them again.

Thanks Clare 👍

Off out to carboot sales to buy collectable stuff to sell on, to pay the bills, and to keep me away from the mindumbing tedium of conventional employment, although a precarious living like this means I can continue with my permaculture project and help people on low income to grow food.

Cheers Nita 👍

Lughnasadh Blessings to all, may your Harvests' be bountiful and plentiful

Now that Blackberry season is here, why not try making Bramble Fire cider for a winter tonic, its easy to make, loaded with goodness and very helpful for winter ailments. Check out our video to show you how. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHCX...

A fruity morning at Community Roots HQ as we ready the site for autumn crops to give to people who are struggling financially @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk

Such a shame, a wonderful country where I spent a lot of time during the 80s/90s

From my own time spent in Holland some Moons back it always seemed like the country where human beings were high up on the consideration list in planning and the way they do things.

A water leak round our way has been pissing out of the ground and onto a pathway for 8-9 and the private company who own the local water infrastructure have done nothing about it www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgRF...

We've got an idea for a project next year so profoundly simple but outrageously tangible and far reaching for this Town, and its very easy to replicate at a low cost, I,m putting the plan/funding bid together and will be hooking up with Orgs/groups in the town to achieve it and make it a reality.

A free talk coming up, organised by our friends Bolton Diggers

Back Friday, enjoy your week x

A sane future wont create itself, we have to do it together!

This is very sad, I used to chat to her on Twitter sometimes.

The Political and economic degeneracy ushered into the world by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan has culminated in a rapidly dying planet, wholesale poverty and now we stand on the brink of world war three overseen by psychopaths, narcissists and bought idiots.

Cheers Sam! Be great if they accept the final bid, it just a case of keeping the session costs down and getting a good price on the fruit trees, this should be enough to convince them to fund it hopefully.

Starting to write the outline of a funding bid for 2026 to enable us to plant a thousand fruit trees in impoverished Bolton.

Moved from one side of Bolton to the other last year and have managed to put a narrow edible/medicinal garden together. I shot this explanatory video earlier today www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_YV...

In the last fortnight we have given away well over a 100 onions and the same of garlic bulbs to volunteers and people struggling to feed themselves @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk

RIP Colin Jerwood, a fella who inspired a generation of Animal rights activists and turned people on to the ideas of Anarchism and DIY Culture. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLzt...

Off over to Bolton on the Bus after posting parcels, hope everyone has an interesting and fruitful day doing whatever they are doing.

Bluesky is better than Twitter, aside from some of the strange messages I get, firstly if I want to smoke weed or have a Mushroom trip I can walk round the corner and get hold of both, secondly as a 60yr old fella I have no interest in 19yr old women who I am old enough to be their grandfathers.
