The aim is chiefly to learn some of the skills that seem to have been left out of my education (planting carrots, chopping wood, milking cows) in a productive and self-sustaining manner. The WWOOF organisation seems to cater to such a need, and (according to friends who have volunteered through it before) appears reliable - so hopefully I won't be causing my mother too many sleepless nights!<BR/><BR/>That really is a great deal of wheat. Especially when you consider that most of us don't actually have any involvement in its production. What about other sources of carbohydrate? Potato bread uses less wheat, and I don't imagine that potatoes take up as much room. Having said that, there is something blissful about kneading, baking and eating real, all-wheat loaves. The best we can do, perhaps, is to recognise the sheer amount we consume, and then to appreciate it proportionately. And to stay off the deer.<BR/><BR/>It's been hailing down here too - we had enough snow on Sunday for a few snowmen to appear in the college gardens. Then, inevitably, the heating system broke, and the hot water bottle, thermal socks and tub of boiled water had to make a re-appearance.<BR/><BR/>JessJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180426165757261471noreply@blogger.com
