'Flowers, flowers, everywhere' - it's a really good season for them here on this (UK) eco organic micro-holding (small smallholding). Bees, thankfully, abound. How long the flowers will last in the current heatwave is questionable, and the black loam soil of the veg growing patch has had to have some watering.
It's a pretty good growing year, though, with quite a variety of produce available to use from the micro-holding, with strawberries one of the year's successes. Self-reliance in the form of home-produced food may well take on more importance, with latest informed reports suggesting food prices could well treble over the next twenty years or so. The latest re-cycling project here is the building of a rustic porch using materials collected up over the years and hopefully therefore without cost.
The latest emanation of the UK control culture is the intention to 'name and shame' surgeons who are deemed to be performing poorly. Could this seem, though, to work against any notions of professional self-responsibility, and reservationists might have concerns that longer-term work drives such as self-motivation might be adversly affected, a situation maybe not particularly suite to 'freerangers', who may then need to look for more conducive work situations - ?
