Finally our weekend was made, we got a ring to say we were at the top of the list for an allotment over the other side of town and did we want to go and look! We couldn’t believe it, to think a few years ago I would of got excited over going out with my mates, now, well it’s about getting an allotment. But this means a lot to us, as it means we control even more of our own food, and don’t have to wonder whether organic really does mean organic! We can even grow old types of foods which are less hybridised, which are far better for us, and with more choice. Collecting our own seeds over time, means that we are not dictated to by the commercial seed companies, who are starting to control our food supplies more and more in this way, with few of us realising it.
We feel that we are taking back control, and although this is a small step its in the right direction and is quite exciting for us. Bit by bit our lives are changing, with us building our businesses to release us permanently from our jobs, and becoming more self sufficient our lives are changing in a way I could never of imagined. We both feel so much healthier for the choices that we are making and taking to change things, and although we are both people who want to make changes quickly and on a large scale, something which has really hit home with us both is that its the small stuff that grows over time that makes the difference.
