Meadowland

[poliphilo]

Matthew sent his man into the fields with a strimmer yesterday and had him cut down all the young saplings.  Woodland, he explains, is worth less than meadowland.

According to the National Trust, Britain has lost 97% of its meadowland since the war. Isn't that frightful!

I took a folding chair into the field this afternoon and sat and read a book (and took a nap) head high in grasses and buttercups.

Self-sufficient would be one thing, but you'd suspect that maybe some of them still do certain amounts of their own because they didn't let it slip that way as in other countries.
