Just a regular guy trying to build a self reliant life, if the state would just leave me alone.
The weather guessers have forecast a storm passing over the south coast today. And they do seem to be right. I'm also aware of the date, and it seems history do's have a sense of rhythm. 82 years since allied soldiers stormed the normandy beaches during the gap between two storm systems. And i wonder what it was all for.... #uk #D-day #6thjune #brits #Yanks #allies #WW2 #History #landings
“Finish every day and be done with it. For manners and for wise living it is a vice to remember. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day for all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the rotten yesterdays.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson; Letter to his daughter, Ellen, 8th April 1854 GN yall 😴😴 #uk #brits #sleepy #bedtime #newdawn

I do love the night sky... it's both humbling to realise we are one small speck in an infite ocean. And it's inspiring to realise it's all there ready for us to find. We just have to decide to go. #uk #brits #astronomy #planets #stars #galaxy #milkyway

Had a decent morning down the allotment. Got the basics of a frame made up for the lid of one of my wormerys. But i took the wrong size screw with me so ill finish it off tomorrow. Also got the comfrey bed cut back and tidied up a bit. Now at home fighting a nap, but I've a few more things on the list to do. Slow progress forward is still progress. And a lot of these jobs are done once types so its worth the time investment 👍🏻 #uk #Brits #skills #chores #allotment #food #sovergin

“Modernity has filled our heads but emptied our hearts, stuffed our wallets but starved our wonder. It has fed our thirst for facts but not for meaning or mystery. It produces "nice" people, not heroes.” — Peter Kreeft #uk #brits #life #lived #bravery #wonder
Storms building... Just in time, could do with some rain 🌧
I'd like to treat Wes Streating like tobacco... Roll him in cardboard, set it on fire and throw away the stump at the end... But that's just me.. 🤷🤣 View quoted note →

A farmer dies in April 2026. His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847. The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle. On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify. In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable. The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft. The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let. A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up. The Treasury collects £140,000. The land never produces British food again. #uk #brits #woodlander #farm #food #sovereign #fight
