Back to basics.

Went horseriding today on a black frisky horse that would not stop making the most awful gas noises you have ever heard! Road through the country side and past some springs. It was amazing to see how everyone lives and how self sufficient they are. Looking at children that sit on the side of the road and play with pebbles, others with plastic bottles....and they seem so content. Corn being hung and dried in rows, or hanging from a washing line. People making their own mud bricks to extend their homes. Loads of cows, pigs and piglets, and of course my little chickens. I so do want chickens one day! I sometimes think we have missed the boat and need to go back to basics. Realise that pebbles and bottles, mud and corn are there for a reason. We almost need to learn how to live again. We then went to the hot springs, and had a bath, an actual bath in warm water. You have a little room to yourself and fill it up with water. I do miss having baths. It is amazing how tired a bath makes you feel. That must be the reason for me always wanting to go to bed before ten!
