A new film about Regenerative Farming and (judging by the trailer) a very appealing plea for revolutionary agriculture. From Hoyt's Synopsis:"Film director and Actress Rachel Ward is not the first person you’d
expect to join a farming revolution. In this triumphant film, Rachel
voyages from wilful ignorance about the ecological impacts of
conventional agriculture on her own rural property, to embracing a
movement to restore the health of Australia’s farmland, food and climate"Launched at the Sydney Film festival, this film is touring country cinemas and should be on wider (streaming) distribution soon.https://thenewdaily.com.au/entertainment/2023/08/01/rachel-ward-farm/https://www.madman
Handmade items are gestures of love. The time, expense, and skill that go into making them are impossible to quantify. It is so special to receive a hand-knitted jumper, crocheted baby blanket, or embroidered table runner from someone you love. Even more special if they have now passed on.Sometimes our Mums, Aunties and Grandmas leave unfinished projects. And that's where the Loose Ends Project picks up, leveraging a diverse network of 11,000+ volunteers with the most amazing handicraft skills, big hearts and huge generosity of spirit, to finish those unfinished projects, so they can be given back and cherished.https://www.looseendsproject.org/
