As usual at the moment sleep was absent last night ,a tell tale sign that work is stressing me, add to this earache and its sure fire stress, not as bad as last time but non the less there.Usual cure is to sit in the countryside and just chill but i had a cleaning job to do,but at least i get to have a 2.5 mile walk there and back in the sunshine. On my journeys it was nice to see a bramble in full flower covered in at least 4 species of bee with honey bees being the most numerous. Along side fed wasps, hoverflies and the odd meadow brown butterfly. Also a sure sign that natures autumn has started were the large number of silver y moth on the wing. Once Christmas is gone and my trip to New Zealand in February has finished i really need to think about a job that doesn't make me feel so down and ill. I need to follow my greener life or my body will bust. Sorry for that pun .

Where next
Sat here wondering, what and where next.I'm sure life in greenville shouldn't be so complicated. Can't start a new life because i have ties to an old one.Can't find a new place to start my new life because I'm tied to a job because im tied to another life. Its one viscous circle that many of you must know. I need off this Hamster wheel . Somewhere away from nosey neighbors. Sure there is a new tv series here where a complete newcomer to the organic lifestyle can try and follow in the footsteps of river cottage. I'm feeling totally enclosed and trapped tonight , not a feeling i enjoy. To add to this i think my brain knows there is not a way out of this working for nothing for at least two to three years,hence my sleep is disturbed,im fatiqued and it all feels a bit much.

They have arrived
At long last I have moved forward on my green quest! I managed to buy a hive with bees. That was just over a week ago and all seems well.

"Bee" there soon.
I've moved further towards a greener lifestyle ,I actually found a place for a small apiary near an allotment, and better still they have spar plots too. Also found a local honey farm who do courses and will supply me with a nucleus of bees.

Time to plan
Well,its that time of year again where I need to consider what to grow. Definitely barlotti bean, and courgettes and hopefully some squash,spinach. Staple stuff like leeks maybe and do fancy trying globe artichokes. Borrage too for the bees.

Scrap
After just having to scrap my lovely 19 year old car ,I realised how price can influence activities such as fly tipping. I was expecting at least eighty to one hundred pounds for the car, instead they say scrap prices have dropped to fifty pounds a tonne reducing its value to forty three pounds and twenty pounds for the catalytic converter.. At these prices small scale retrieval of metals from streets by people has reduced leading to people just tipping by the road side etc. I am glad to say I've managed to find a much younger car, only 15 years old thereby km keeping another car of age on the road which means one less new one and the excessive use of energy to make it
