stay or leave

I lived in an English picture postcard market town that slowly expanded with the motor industry .It expanded fuelled by worker pouring in from London .It was a picture of a wealthy  city full of glass and marble floors .
 

 

20years later as I walk through the litter strewn streets  I wonder whether I should pack up and leave town or stay and try and do something .I live in one of the better areas but slowly the area has become tired and dangerous .I often think about the big American cities Where the factories closed down .The infrastructure collapse the little shops and businesses that service the working families all went bankrupt.

The big money left first then the middle classes then the working guys could not sell their houses for a high enough price to get somewhere else

Or that bloke in Argentina that writes about the meltdown who says the ones who leave first get the best deals

As I watch the newspapers blow by I wonder is this the start of something bigger

Herb shampoo un axes

Shampoo un axes

Interesting conversation the other day .The obsession with guns knives and instruments to whack potential assailants is almost a hysterical compulsion with the survivalist mob

Then a young lady said to me “what about shampoo?“when civilisation collapses and my stash has been jumped by marauding zombies what will I do about shampoo.”

It’s a good question I suppose life goes on .So I have taken a look at basic needs .Stinging nettle is a good hair restorative it’s also good at making the hair stop falling out and regrow .So not only would she get a free shampoo but it could be rubbed on the head of passing bald marauders to make them feel better about themselves

It’s just a thought .She actually made the stinging nettle hair shampoo with little rosemary and I used it, two days later I needed a hair cut
