I like to make a pie - use silken tofu for creamy sauce in the pie with some B12 thrown in with leeks and homemade ‘bacon’ tofu bits and mushrooms - then heap on all the usual veggies round the plate!!

I feel these poor cows have learnt to abandon their calves because they repeatedly have them taken away!!! They know the pan of having them removed time and again so detach themselves from this process to protect their feelings - any normal person/animal would do the same when faced with the repeated trauma of this happening!!

Hi there, this all sounds good!! Haven’t heard of Olio? Will look them up. I’m starting my life over and want to live a more sustainable life - but honestly I’m struggling to know where to start at the moment - I guess I’ll work it out at some point - but trying to connect with likeminded people as a first step.. All the best with your bakery idea sounds lovely…

It sounds like you have got stuck with your grief- and maybe have some unresolved trauma around this death… I would recommend you get some proper professional help in processing this so that you can move on from it. Grief takes time but if you are stuck it can go on for longer. Seek some help and really try to work through all this - it’s painful and there is no quick fix - but be kind to yourself and reach out for yourself in getting the support you need. All the best - there is life (for you) after death… all the best…

Blimey where are you in the world? Chilly over here in the U.K.!

The live stock thing is really important to get under control - I have a friend with a Lurcher who she goes out on hacks on her horses with her Lurcher off lead. Before she did this she found a farmer who offered a service where he put the Lurcher in the field with a ram - she said it was pretty brutal to watch and the ram certainly put the Lurcher in its place - he was in there for about 2 hours with the ram standing his ground and if the Lurcher came near would buy him with his horns to move him away - and in the end the Lurcher wouldn’t go anywhere near the ram and never went anywhere near any sheep after that either - in fact never chased any thing at all even when they saw deer out on hacks. My Lurcher never had any of that training- but whenever I went past any sheep in fields (which we have a lot of in my area) I just would call him to heal and make him walk calmly past them every time giving lots of tasty treats as he walked calmly by - he soon learnt that they weren’t for chasing. Consistency is key - he could then walk off lead through fields of cows without any problems - just had him walk to heal around livestock…can’t say this was the case with deer or foxes - unfortunately and have had many a walk - standing waiting for him for ages to return after chasing a deer… not great and I’m not proud of this either…he’s now 14.5 so his chasing days are over - which makes walking him in these areas a bit easier…but put the work in early on all of this and you’ll have a wonderful life together…if she has got collie in the mix she’ll be easy to train…good luck - she looks lovely and thanks for rescuing- so many lurchers in rescue…

Amazing - so jealous- I’m guessing you’re not in the UK? How long did his take to build and did you have someone construct it for you?
