When I see and smell old things that remind me of the past
I think of times of when I've had a good old proper blast But it weren't all that gravy, there's plenty of times that really grate But most of all it's inequality that I really hate And here comes Jeremy on the very left side Recently elected to challenge what we call this ride and hopes of a new approach which are the closest thing I've seen of heading in a direction that seems more rightly clean and good for the people who seem to suffer more who work real hard and feel real strong it's time for a reform But i'm not sure that we'll get it, cos the biggest challenge of them all is displacing these greedy bastards who above us are mighty tall and powerful and loaded with both money and a gun they're the biggest enemy we've had since we fought the hun This is my anthem, for progression The environment's important it really is fragile and we can do more to help you can see that from a mile and there are far more policies that can be implemented for this it won't be perfect from the start, they'll be some hit and miss But if we can fight the fight we can at least say that we tried and be remembered like our martyrs, didn't bottle it and hide To the lovers and the haters and the critics of this all we don't want a utopia, we just want to calm the storm This is my anthem, for progression

There is something a little sad about the end of the Summer, where we almost mourn the loss of something, the end of life somewhat, and perhaps that creeping feeling of another school year approaching that is still burnt into our genetic makeup. However, after it's worked itself out we can then start to settle in and perhaps even enjoy what the new season has to bring.
A man whose garden I was working in a few days ago commented on how he loves this time of year, when there is still a nice amount of sunshine but the days are a bit cooler. I also enjoy the new dimensions of colour, and with the sun being a bit lower in the sky it creates new colours, shades and shadows, like a new painting. Whilst I was driving to work the other morning I looked down on the Woodford Valley and saw low lying fog and mist intertwined with the greenery and a church poking its head above, it looked beautiful. My gardening company has been doing a lot more garden design work recently and I've been involved in putting it together, it's a rewarding process and you observe which plants work well together, and in time you will see the design bloom when you can really appreciate the hard work involved in crafting it. Our collective of organic gardeners are very interested in designing gardens that not only look good but also incorporate key permaculture principles in their design. This includes picking plants that attract bee's and other pollinating insects, and ensuring that their is ground cover plants so the soil is protected. We will also where possible recycle plants that are already in the garden, and sometimes split them up and spread them across the garden. This not only saves money and energy from buying new plants, but also spreads the colours and patterns throughout the garden at periodical points which is appealing to the eye. Combining art and permaculture is a very rewarding thing to do, It is like I am channelling all my creativeness and passion for sustainable practices into one thing and also getting paid for it! |
