pink batts | orange dress

do you know what pink batts mean?
pink batts mean a warm house.
pink batts means toasty toes.
pink batts are a type of fibreglass insulation that you put into your ceiling and walls and being as we've ripped the lining off the walls in the lounge/kitchen space we've had the chance to put in some pink batts. which of course i did in an orange dress. - we must be coordinated, darling!
so future winters in the republic will be like tropical holidays!! (well, we still have our blankets just in case)

but on another front, i've descovered a chain of things... you know how t'internet works; i googled chickpeas & growing and stumbled upon a site called selfsufficient(ish). well, you know us. i've been prattling on for years about selfsufficiency and how to achieve it, about buying some land, about being part of a greater community of folk doing the same. bless the internet cos it has introduced us to just that.

a community of folk who grow their own.

so, it turns out we're not alone, that their are litterally thousands of people around the globe who eat what they grow and grow what they eat; who forage for their food, either in the sea,in the rivers, in the wild back country or in the urban parks; who bake their own bread; people for whom recycling means more than putting your stuff in the yellow bin....

little by little i shall start adding links to these communities for anybody who's interested in reading more. of course, i'll give you more recipes on how to make your own nutrient specific fertilizers, etc and keep you updated on the lives and loves of the citizens of the rara republic.

escape to the rara republic
you know you want to
