Wonderful post -- thank you. Love the wind poem which took my back to Ondaatje's description of winds in The English Patient. And the dishes described are mouth-watering! I think you could definitely say you have a publisher.

And oh the world -- going to the right and the environment forgotten. :(

But we persist and here's to July been a better month for health. x

Thank you Jan. And that is praise indeed – I had forgotten those passages in TEP - possibly my favourite ever novel.

And THANK YOU for you know what x2. X

I’m glad you’re getting better. The recipes do sound good. We don’t grow enough to be anything like self-sufficient, but I’m better at seeing our garden for all that live here. (I do have exceptions) What does ‘right-light’ mean? That there aren’t many on the right in his party? Thank you very much for your news and perspective. Love xx

Thanks dear Marg. I once wrote a post on slug-love and also how to love hornets. They all have their place :-).

No, I meant that Keir Starmer is not very left-wing; closer to a Tory than I would like (but then I liked radical old Corbyn). Rx

Your wind poem is gorgeous. As I learn more about weather and climate, I am seeing the wind in more animate terms, part of a living dialog between places and things.

Oh thank you Rob! And yes, I see winds as animate – everything as animate, conscious, in its own way; but I really like what you say about it being part of a living dialogue between places and things. Perfect.
