If you are inclined towards a country life, you're welcome to read along with this journal. It's about living in a country town, (that's in Bungendore, New South Wales in Australia). It's about working at home sometimes, not working at home sometimes and about living outside the cities of Sydney and Canberra. You'll find writing on town life, gardening, cooking, eating and drinking and preserving what we grow. I started this diary in January 2002, and in late 2005 started a food and travel magazine called Regional Food Australia ( of course there's a website www.regionalfood.com.au). All my writing energy was poured into that, and it had a regular blog. I found writing about the 'country' became 'writing about The Country' and a bit less intimate (it was fun though). While we work out what happens with the magazine ( we 'paused' after issue 3) I figured I'd like to get back to some of those diary type entries here. But, as you can never step twice into the same river, the format has to change a bit. Have a look at the Another Country Diary and Bungendore Almanac. It's styled after the traditional Chinese agricultural Almanac and while keyed to five day seasonal segments, it has many of the themes I've written about here over the years. They're all still available in the archive and I'll link to them sometimes. Drag up a chair, haul on that mouse scroll and read a few paragraphs and see if you need.... |
