I set out early this morning, looking for nettles.
Niche came with me. :D
Well that didn't take long. I found this bank of nettles not five minutes from my house.
The highland cattle are having a little rest. Perhaps they're not even up yet. Lazy cows.
I know I've complained a lot about moving away from my dads, but when you have a view like this a twenty minute walk away, it kinda makes everything better.
I filled a carrier bag full of nettles and chucked um all into a bucket.
Filled the bucket with water, with the tap with half a mile an hours water pressure.
stuffed a brick on top of it all to keep the nettles submerged.
And hide the bucket away, as far from the house as humanly possible, as this concoction is going to be very, very smelly.
The potatoes are starting to come up now. I've been covering them with alternating compost and grass cuttings, depending on which one I have at the time.
It is getting better out there. I still have a lot of work to do, lots of clearing and digging. But I'm starting to feel better about it all.

is that a view of an ancient hill fort?
Sadly no. Its an ex open-cast mine. That would have been very exciting though.
