Badley Fuckitt Welcomes Careful Drivers

Come along educating. Let's get matching tweedy excavation outfits and thermos flasks. I bet we turn up a labrys and a few goddess figurines in a temple complex in the south west corner. We'll have to spend a lot of time in deck chairs debating matriarchies after that! Perhaps Max Dashu will visit and do a slideshow and then fall in love with the place and move in.

Another closet When Calls the Heart fan here. It’s very sanitised, tea time telly but it got me through the first 12 months of Brexit gloom.

It's good isn't it! But such an 'uncool' easy to ridicule show I barely admit to it. Glad to meet a fellow fan!

I'd like to help out with @mindtheminotaur 's archaeological dig as I've got quite a few skills already ticked off in my bajr archaeological skills passport.
I can offer prayer and meditation sessions in the church and can help with growing food and flowers. I'll also run a craft club if anyone is interested and would like to join the choir.
Can I have a smallish cottage with an attached woodworking room cum crafts area? I'd like a garden with fruit trees and a cat too!

Thank you@MontyPythonsFlyingFuck! Maybe I will have a taste later and see how it is doing. Hic.

You might like 'When Calls the Heart' on Netflix Sickofffamilydrama, it is very sanitised rather glamorous version of frontier life but I secretly rather like it. Hope Valley where they live looks extremely cosy, kind of like an American frontier version of Badley Fuckitt but with men too (I'm assuming Badley is women only?)

SDTG, IIRC rhubarb is one that's ready fairly quickly, but don't quote me - I can't have rhubarb any more (WAAHH!) because of arthritis. I used to like it with either ginger or a few raspberries. No harm comes to any of these concoctions by leaving them on the fruit for a long, long time, IME, and I am extremely lazy. I strained some of last year's quince and damson ones about a month ago (we'd had some of both at Christmas, too).

@TurboTeddy I liked helping people in nursing and giving my all & funeral directing is similar in that you are helping people at a bad time weirdly the children & baby funerals are the most satisfying as in you can make the most difference. But both bank suck the emotional energy from you because you constantly give.

I now do something linked with the funeral industry which I love.

Boatyardblues I fancy being a frontiers woman maybe Dr Quinn style so a false sanitised frontier not the hard labour and early death most endured.

...the compost piles are coming along nicely 8 months on...

Oi love compost.

I can imagine. I was a nurse too so I'd find a discussion about your two careers fascinating.

@TurboTeddy thanks although I don't want to have to use either skill any more it's a funny conversation starter/ stopper when I've mentioned it.

Also can we open an apothecary herbal shop like this?

This sounds exactly the kind of place I'd like to live. Is there a cottage available, room for several cats, possibly a dog and a vegetable garden out the back?

If there's a vacancy I'd be happy to be the resident art teacher. I could also take on a few hours in the fabric shop if one has opened yet (I'm assuming one has considering how many people like crafts).

That's an impressive skill set , both very necessary and almost guaranteed permanent employment.

Oh can I join I do have useful skills I've been both a nurse and a funeral director so if the worst happens and you die in my care at least I can arrange you a good send off

I think this sounds like a Swedish island not that I have ever been to one

I am currently making rhubarb gin, @MontyPythonsFlyingFuck - do you have any advice on how long to leave it steeping, please?

Hello. Just passing through. Is this the feminist utopia where 'prostitutes' who have seen the light and non fucked up bananas abound or do I need to keep going? On second thoughts, as a midwife, I'm not sure I'll be needed there so maybe I'll holiday around here for a bit.

Badley Fuckitt is my sort of place. I can offer endless variants on sloe gin (currently quince vodka, damson gin, blackberry vodka), cake-making skills and organising stuff. Oh, and singing. And reading. And dog-bothering.

I'm in, sounds ace.

The Karen Uhlenbeck suite. Truly my inner maths nerd rejoices .

I should have said - not only do I knit, but I also make excellent cheese scones. The secret is to put far too much cheese in - so the scones lose all structural integrity, and slump into a vaguely scone-shaped heap, but taste bloody marvellous.
