I am right there with you...going without is certainly a first world problem and we are so spoiled with convenience. Adaptability and resourcefulness are great qualities to have right now!

When our children were ...That is a beautiful photo. When our children were poor we were pretty skint, but yknow, you get through it. Like you I have a love of pulses and can happily try my hand at adapting and making things to eat. I have also had a herb garden since I was 8 - its perishables that people will miss - fresh fruit and fresh veg, the sheer delight of a fresh clementine or a really crunchy carrot that adds so much pleasure (and of course their nutrients). Humans are resourceful and many people will discover that food they may have turned their noses up isn't too bad after all, they may even discover new creative talents for making do. I think the current situation from reading facebook of colleagues is more affluence and the potential for obesity - sitting at home stuffing up on chocolate because of boredom/cabin fever. This is going to be an interesting time to study for future social scientists, my personal bet is the altruistic will always win through - why? because they see positivity and opportunity for people power, and speaking of positives - the rainbow chard in my garden along with my little herbs are looking wonderful (and yes, I will be sharing with the neighbours if they wish for anything)the embellished existencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07228454511380159241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372561152306856774.post-55482178356611992062020-03-21T13:01:21.177-07:002020-03-21T13:01:21.177-07:00It's a great blog.
