And I could not put down @nicolawriting.bsky.social's new 'Ghosts of the Farm': youth.,horses, Miss White, a tough Second World War woman farmer,, & Nicola's own keen eye on the future of our food & the fragility of farming landscapes & their wildlife...

Thank you - you are very kind Alison!

Hurrah!

I don’t doubt that - thanks for explaining it to me though. Not me or Hannah ignoring it. But if H’s approach was ‘climate change is causing swift decline, stop causing it’ you think public would get behind that more? The ‘swift brick’ champions are usually also campaigning to stop climate change.

Forgive me, but that’s a strange reaction. Of course she isn’t doing or thinking that. Swift bricks will help, because as Hannah well knows, it’s an issue we can do something about, while campaigning against the climate crisis/ wildlife loss at the same time.

Peaked early in life’s adventures …

First night out in a saloon bar in Bragg Creek, Alberta, with horses tied up between trucks (1988) … was bought a drink with the introduction ‘I’m a bull rider. Can I have a sip of your drink?’

Ha, absolutely!

Very late to the proceedings, but as a former cowgirl myself, Ben Johnson! Remained a wrangler (horse trainer/groom) all his life, & also was of First Nation community.

It really is! We had a fun walk …

And everyone should be sure to check out too … goldengrenades.com/podcast/epis...
