Treading lightly and driving a 4×4

There’s a reason why I’m not a green campaigner, an eco-warrior, an environmental activist, a conservationist or anything else of that ilk.

It’s not because I have a problem treading lightlly, respecting the environment, conserving resources, minimising waste or leaving things in a better state for future generations.

The problem I have is with the way the green movement is increasingly hijacked by the envious, the hateful, the spiteful, the controlling, the fascist, the ignorant, the misguided and the mis-informed.

Berkshire weaners

Delilah’s litter of Berkshire piglets are now six weeks old, which means they’ll be weaned in the next fortnight and then most will be off to pastures new. At the moment, we have confirmed buyers for all five boars and two of the six gilts, while we’re waiting for two more buyers on our waiting list to confirm they’re both taking a pair of gilts.
