'Green leaf' lane walking with collie dog Hipster Pipster has been a pleasure recently, to be diminished somewhat, though, by council cutting machines. The trees lining the lane have looked too pretty impressive in their 'timeless strength'. In spite of cold air in May here at the eco organic micro-holding (small smallholding) here in the UK midlands, the micro crops have been doing ok, bar one or two in need of warmer air. Fingers crossed that blight and alium leaf miner attacks of recent years are avoided, which might just be quite a bit to ask for. Next winter's bought log supply has been stored in the 'logs-istics' centre, to be added to later on by wood already here to be cut up.
The so-called 'free market' may now not be quite so free due to the activities of large powerful commercial firms, some being investigated by regulators for alledgedly less than fair customer treatment. Might the profusion of large-scale organisations tending to use their considerable 'muscle' impact negatively on those lacking power, such as small firms, and individuals themselves - ? Although traditional 'comfort' source such as religion have waned in some western cultures, spirituality itself might yet not be totally past its 'sell by date', as the emergence of new religious type movements could seem to indicate, even if some appear to be influenced significantly by 'man' - ?
