Assuming you might be unfamiliar with this booklet of Sedley Sweeny's, may I proudly present "An Intuitive View of the Whole"? Here: https://www.10000things.org.uk/intuitiv.htm I'll be astonished if a vast majority of you don't find it very interesting. Last edited by Milo on Sun May 22, 05 7:52 pm; edited 2 times in total

Sedley also wrote The Challenge of Smallholding, published 1985, long since out of print, but after looking for it for a very long time I've just managed to order a copy from Amazon.

It looks very interesting Milo, there's a lot there - I fear it will have to wait until after the exams, when I'll probably print it out and read it in the bath!

Better than in the shower anyway. I can assure you it's good stuff, WW. In hard copy it's a very skinny book. Which exams, btw?

Physio finals. Hopefully, at the end of June, I'll be let loose on the NHS!

6mths have gone by and no-one's any thoughts on this work by a founder of modern self-sufficiency?

I am so sorry that I missed this the first time around, milo. I am a committed member of the Free Tibet campaign, and have been for many years now; had problems starting a local group, but still in the pipeline. Also interested in Ladakh, Sikkim, Bhutan, etc. There's a lot on that website, so have bookmarked it. Big thanks for bringing it to further attention.

Happiness, on the other hand, is a completely different gift. It stems from peace, serenity, contentment, respect for self and others, from loving human relationships, generosity and sharing.

This I can relate to very easily

Talking of which, take a look at the 3rd photograph here: https://www.10000things.org.uk/sisteron2.htm I'm about to order some new prayer flags (for Christmas!) - they fade very quickly, don't they.

That's my flag.................... I buy new prayer flags every year; the old ones go on the compost heap, and the new ones brighten up the garden in the spring. I'm wanting to make my own this year, so am looking into that. I would like some of them strung vertically this year too; love them.
