EarthLines

As I’ve said before on this blog, every now and again David set ourselves a bunch of tasks (nothing serious, you know – just things like uprootong and moving house to the far ends of the earth, croft animals and all, renovating a house, reconstructing a croft, building a polytunnel, acquiring pigs and a cow and … all in the space of a year or so, if that’s not too much trouble …) Being the insane perfectionist driven idiots that we are, we half-kill ourselves completing said tasks, talking wistfully always about ‘The Day’ when we won’t have any more new tasks but just the maintenance stemming from the old ones. Then, just as every one of those breathing spaces approaches, one of us (usually me) has some bright idea that starts the whole cycle over again. As a psychologist I perhaps should have learned better by now, but the truth is I suspect that if we didn’t do that we’d sink into some grungy hermit-like cantankerous existence from which we’d never be able to emerge.

Or that’s my excuse, anyway.

So: what new delights have we cooked up for ourselves this week? Well, through our publishing company, Two Ravens Press, we are starting up a new magazine. The focus of the magazine is ‘dedicated to high quality writing which explores the relationship between people and the natural world, and encourages reconnection’. If that interests you, take a look at the blog that we’re using as a temporary stopgap until I can get a new website up and running, hopefully by mid-December. The magazine is called EarthLines, the blog is here http://earthlinesmagazine.wordpress.com/ and you can also find our Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/pages/EarthLines/302524779765386 and receive regular updates.
