Hanneke Apr 2021 9:40am, 17 Apr 2021 72,438 posts	0 Hanneke Yes, it is how most farmers are around here. I often talk to them while out and about. What I admire most is they never take anything for granted and that includes the world around them. Nature, the changing seasons, this valley. I too feel on top of the world, especially on the Black Hill!

Columba Apr 2021 4:35pm, 17 Apr 2021 21,007 posts	0 Columba I loved that Guardian link, although I couldn't have lived my life that way. But I wonder: how does he eat that one onion? Does he fry it (and maybe fry the egg as well)? Boil it? Or - horrors - just munch his way through it raw like an apple? If the latter, no wonder he's never married.
