Fiona and I had a lovely chat in Savernake Forest, near Marlborough during which we discussed:
Fiona’s allotment and how her relationship with it supports her day to day, helps to feed her and improves her mental health.
Fiona’s solo travels and stay for a year on a permaculture farm in Italy.
Vegetables and the experience of growing - hers and mine
How the allotment helps Fiona manage her experience of panic attacks and depression
High sensitivity and over-stimulation and how the allotment helps
The pleasures of the simple cause and effect of growing and eating
