The first week of July and there’s a feint scent of Autumn in the air this morning.
The morning brings a quiet and gentle beginning to the day, untouched by the continuing perplexities of man.
“Man has drawn artificial lines on the chest of the Mother Earth, which have no significance, except for the sake of war and clashes between countries. The soil seems to be the same, the trees the same, the grass the same, and the fragrance of the air, the smell of the earth the same.”
~ Girdhar Joshi
Yes it is…all the same…at most times hard to believe when one watches the circus of life on MSM.
Bread and circuses, but we all know and recognise real life.
It has a colour and fragrance all of its own.
“The earth is a mosaic, and most fail to notice the gossamer tesserae floating down from the realm of the mind that form its images of beauty and horror.”
~ Lawren Leo

I received a delivery from my printers in Dublin, of my book, “A Cottage And Three Acres”. 
It is three years since I put the first chapter on the website and waited for feedback from you, dear supporters of what has become the Bealtaine Project.
I recall being both surprised and elated at the positive response to my writing and your encouragement to continue writing the book.
I decided to follow permaculture ethics and have the book printed here in Ireland.
I also decided to post the book from Bealtaine Cottage, making full use of my local Post Office which, like many rural Post Offices here in the west of Ireland, is under threat of closure!
This way, all the benefits of my effort, go to support rural Ireland, a place I love and care for!
One’s decisions in life have rippling effects on all one cares for…and evident that Permaculture can make a difference…
The cost of the book is 21.00 euros, plus 5.50 P&P for addresses in Ireland, 6.50 P&P the rest of the world.
Now that I have come this far, I feel confident enough to accept pre-orders!
2 cups organic wholemeal flour…spelt flour makes for a lighter bread!
Now cover with cling film and set aside for 3-4 hours in your kitchen…room temperature is good enough!
Pre-heat your oven to 450F and put your pan with lid in to heat.
When hot, remove from oven, sprinkle a little flour into the bottom of the pan to prevent bread from sticking, pour in mixture, cover with lid and pop back in oven.
Remove loaf from pan and leave to cool.
