Lifestyle
I like to get out and about even if I am not working. Motorhomes can get quite hot on a sunny day and cold on a winters day so I head for the library or allotment etc. A typical evening in involves lighting the wood burning stove which runs my still, heats five litres of water for personal washing and use the free heat to cook something for tomorrow, preserve something or process something. Some chutneys take a lot of reducing for example. Herbs and fruit slices can be hung by the chimney to dry. I’ve got free heat and I am going to use it to the maximum effect.
Typical meal
I always eat something fresh if there is something to be eaten but if the out of date fairies have not left anything for me at the supermarket I resort to my larder of pickles and preserves. A previously cooked baked potato reheated in the microwave, some fresh eggs, perhaps some shavings from the cured leg of pork, some pickles all washed down with a glass of my own wine. Not bad for a low paid worker!
