To be truly free. We must not block the freedom to others. I try hard to make decisions with compassion and empathy. This applies to our fellow humans. And don’t forget the elderly – they also have the right to make their own decisions. We have a lot of work to do and we cannot do it until we are all free of tyranny. There will always be tyrants and our freedom comes from turning them off in our feeds and in our heads.
I believe in sustainable living. Doing no harm. Living Lightly – all that good stuff. But I have no right to force feed my beliefs on those around me.

Freeing the hogs out into the field for a run made me feel free-er!!
Empathy is such a beautiful word don’t you think?.
Here is the reel of Jude and Freebee taking their first long walk.
Through the thistles.
I have started their wallow. Yesterday they were able to go back and forth into the barn area (past the dangerously damaged fenceposts) – today I will shut them in the field for the day and they can go back into the barn for the night.
Tomorrow they will be in the field all day and all night.
When John gets back he will fix those fence posts then they can wander freely back and forth.
Travel
I leave on Sunday which is in four days. So my bags are out. I will be staying in a total of eight households. And they all have washing machines! So i will be packing two of everything per season (except knickers – I am allowed as many knickers as I want!).
My jackets, and winter beach warmies are already in NZ.
Pea omelette for me today.
Good morning!
Another busy day ahead.

PS Soft Launch
Thank you so much for all the emails from people who want to be in on the soft launch of thekitchensgarden. Which literally means that I will send you an email with the link to the first blog post from the new site, you will need to subscribe then comment, comment, comment. (The comment feature is a joy to behold). The Sustainable Home has a newsletter that you can subscribe to as well – though I will not open that business until I have our blog (the mother ship) up and running fluently. You can still subscribe though and even book a first meeting! Though you all get coupons and discounts and FreeBee has freebies!
TSH will probably open in August.
An email should be coming out to the soft launch group on Friday with the link to the new website.
Yesterday was training day! Not ready!! (laughter).
If you would like to join the Soft Launch group please email me at celima.g.7@gmail.com.

It’s good to see Jude running around.
I sneaked a look at the website already 😉
Cheeky!! I don’t mind. What did you think! I still have quite a bit of homework to do.
I like the logo – there’s not much else yet.
Oh ok.
I did wonder how you were able to find it – maybe while we were working in it.
You gave out the address 😉
Oh C, I have tears in my eyes seeing the joy as Jude runs in the field!
Yes! Which is why I wrote supple instead of subtle. Look at him go!
Ahh ~ freedom for the piggies!!! Wow can’t believe you’re leaving Sunday already!! Bet you are excited to see your family!!!
Yes! My excitement is deep!! Lots of plans of course!
Pig and omelette look gorgeous. Happy safe travels😊
Those pigs would happily eat my omelette too!
Mmm, pea omelette! I will have to find out when/if you’re travelling next year to see if we can overlap in Melbourne, even briefly.
I love omelets. I could eat one every day, with something new tucked inside!
Yes! You have chickens right? Dorothy?
No, I get my eggs from the farm up the road. My husband wants to get chickens again, but I’m on the fence!
Just as long as there are no chickens sitting on your fence!!
Just a few gulls!
Your trip will be wonderful! I’m super excited for you! And for your family having you with them! Sunday will be here before you know it! I love the first picture of the pig staring out the gate!
There are online groups dedicated to the One Bag travel principle. I made a week-long trip to San Diego with a single backpack. When we went to Peru, I was determined to one-bag-it, but we ended up taking 5 suitcases for 3 people because we were able to bring 40kg school supplies as a donation to Maximo’s education projects. It was a worthwhile trade off. Personal belongings, though, were one bag only.
