.... not about the environment, but for 20+ years the actual hardship of living in THE 'environment' = very sparsely populated places. Almost complete mentally tough aloneness. And no hope of changing that.
The landlope gets one through it.
Landlope is entirely a work in progress and must be worked through from the start if someone is daft enough to wish to (sorry where i raised myself - in the wilds...we speak gentle sardonic wryspeak ...and actually i know the 'theme' is good)
Go to the beginning (older posts link at bottom of the page). And plod up the pages to here. A sort of book in sketchy first draft. Not a 'blog'. Not a romantic lovestory with a crumbling cliffedged ending...
Though there is a chunk missing. Which will be here soon.
And (as i had yesterday) anyone who wishes to add in thoughts or the right words please get in touch. ilandlope alloneword @gmail.com though i don't check it very often. Phone best.
afterwords, not really...

which includes chatting up a gorgeous vet
And a chat with a REAL, lovely couple - gentle and demure ( as i am in real life) , who work for Natural England and agree the delicate ecosystems are damaged beyond hope....
though landlope is NOT about any 'causes' - been there, got t shirt... too long a massive drain on everything, life down the drain (as on eco we have failed..)
And truth of an even more gorgeous giraffe. Her 'mindfulness' will not help her standard existential issues almost all i ever encounter in everyone...
But, the word... I sort of need to rethink, Mr Natural England likes it, but i don't wish to use elite sounding words.
'chugging' along with momentum... is the closest simplest language, so far.
And I am going to keep thoughts recorded on ' the farm' ... maybe.
Perhaps i don't need to; probably i should not because there is something valuable in landlope... i do need to finish it off.
This is entirely incomplete and is so far missing my best thoughts collected august and early sept this year.
To do soon.
