unfortunately
– train delays on saturday’s return from liverpool meant missing out on the forager’s dinner we’d booked for that evening – finding a dead baby bird outside when we got home – dropping the outside table on my foot & having to fashion a splint out of an empty loo roll and plasters so i could get some sleep – scary & sobering reading: “…according to this exceptionally detailed study from 2006, lamb, apples and dairy produced in New Zealand and shipped to Britain have a smaller carbon footprint than the equivalent products produced in Britain. To be exact, the UK uses twice as much carbon per tonne of milk solids produced as New Zealand, and four times the amount as New Zealand for lamb.”
