It's weird, isn't it? Apparently you can actually buy things in the supermarket that taste a little bit like real eggs! Who knew!?
It was just the drive back down tonight that got me thinking, munching tomatoes, apples, tomatoes and a homemade blueberry muffin as I went, and with Bloomer's tup lamb in the trailer ready to start next year's lambs....
This wasn't really about money though, it was just the realisation that most people will never eat anything that they
haven't bought. We used to be like that too, but we've slowly taken a different path without really thinking about it too hard, and it's amazing how far we've come.
We're far from self sufficient, but not a day goes by without us eating
something that we've grown, reared, caught or gathered ourselves, and that does make me smile
