Approximately 8 weeks in and the carrots, radishes, and potatoes we planted do appear to be growing. We clearly put far too many radish seeds into the second container. Let’s hope we can harvest at least one from this mass of greenery in a few weeks time.
“Yet it isn't the gold that I'm wanting
So much as just finding the gold.
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.”
― Robert W. Service

Happy Somerset Day from everyone in the shire and beyond!

I am forever proud to call this magical county my home. My ancestry in this region stretches back to at least 500 years, and around the time of the industrial revolution, my ancestors were pushed to work in Bristol, where I have a long line of ancestry, including my great, great, great, great, great grandfather who was a reverend at Bristol's Central Chruch. There is actually a memorial plague in the church of him!

Following my grandmother's move to Somerset when she was in her early twenties, and both my parents being from here, here I am!

Fly your Somerset flags high, have a jollop, and reflect on the pride you have for this region. I am, of course, biased, but nowhere in the world matches the unique mysticism this area holds.

What is your favourite part of Somerset? Comment below!

I feel this needs to be said again..

OK, I want to answer the "running away" accusation.
By that I mean the misunderstanding a few people have about the way I live, and why I promote a self sufficient off grid life style.

I have seen this accusation phrased in a number of different ways, I've listed a few below.

Running away and hiding in the woods is cowardly.

It's pointless they will hunt you down and kill you. (Usually referencing Ruby ridge)

So, you live in a hut in the forest whilst Africans take over your towns and cities.

Living without technology is a backwards step.

I could go on and on, but I won't bore you with the endless misunderstandings of the situation, I'll try instead to state my case.

So, let me use an analogy to kick off. If your house is on fire and burning down what would you do. I'm hoping most of you say "get out".. or, some of the more proactive amongst you may say, "try to put the fire out". Both are sensible.

The burning house is exactly how I saw my country,  problems on every front and all seeming to make the situation worse year on year. So I tried, for over 30 years, to put the fire out. I tried with fringe political parties, I tried with preasure groups, I tried with mainstream political parties. In the end I came to the conclusion that the house I loved was going to burn down, and the buckets of water I was fighting the fire with were doing no good. I got out.

I walked away from a corrupt system that was designed to send me mad and crush me, to keep me as a constant consumer working 30, 40, 50 hours a week in order to survive. I walked away and built something better for myself and my family.

Now, here's the point, I'm still fighting the fire, I'm just in a much better position to be able to do that. I have more time, because I don't need to work all those hours, I have more money because I have no mortgage, no rent, no electricity or water bills, I have reduced my food bill by growing food.

I will also add that far from living in a hut like a primitive African, I live in a four bedroom timber cabin, my lounge is bigger than my first flat, I have a microwave a washing machine a tumble dryer, I have Internet access and every luxury you could think of, with the added bonus of living in the most stunning environment I could think of.

I encourage those able to think outside of the narrative they've been indoctrinated with all their life, to consider this way of living as a viable alternative.

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not adverse to using technology, in fact these advances sprang from the genius of my people, they can be used for good and they can be used to improve your life and fight the enemy.

Having said that, there are two major problems with a lot of technology first being that it has the effect of making us lazy and dependent, we forget how to operate without it, I've seen this happen numerous times. One example would be a young girl working the till in a shop, the till malfunctioned, without that piece of tech she had no idea what to do, she was unable to add up the cost of shoppers items or work out correct change, the shop had to shut until the till could be fixed. The second and major problem with a lot of technology is that it rests in the hands of our enemy and will be used against us.

So as much as I would promote the use of technology, I would urge caution, it is a double edged sword that can be both useful and destructive in equal measure.

I do not see living the way I do as a possible future for everyone, but I see it as an alternative for those intelligent enough to comprehend just how bad things can get, how diversity and deliberate mismanagement is being used to destroy culture, institutions and the very fabric of what was once a great society.

Not everyone will be able to build a home, or buy land or go as far as I have, but everyone can improve, everyone can start to disengage from the system. I've pointed out numerous times how this can be done.
