Hello and welcome to The Compost Bin. I'm Compostwoman and I live with my family in rural Herefordshire. We have nearly four acres of garden and woodland, all managed organically and to Permaculture principles, which we share with Chickens, Cats and assorted wildlife. We also grow a lot of our own food, run courses in all sorts of things and make a lot of compost!

I am a Master Composter and have spent more than a decade as a volunteer Community Compost adviser with Garden Organic and my local Council.
I'm a self employed Environmental Educator so I run workshops and events where I talk about compost, veg growing, chicken keeping, cooking, preserving and sustainable living. I also run crafts workshops and Forest School/outdoor play sessions in our wood.

We try to live a more self sufficient lifestyle here, as best we can, while still having a comfortable life and lots of fun.

Virtual Hay Festival

Today sees the start of Virtual Hay Festival. Which is wonderful, and I've signed up to loads of events to watch (although our rubbish rural broadband will probably make it very difficult)

But... 😔 I want to actually BE at Hay, meeting up with friends, going to events, going to bookshops, laughing and hugging and queuing and chatting, enjoying the atmosphere.
And I can't. So I want to go "wah it's not fair" and other rather childish utterances. And maybe stamp my foot a time or two. 

Tantrum over, normal service resumed.
