Ncb - there's going to be a TV programme about a group of people who are going to live the life of self sufficiency for a year. Three families have been chosen and the programme charts their progress over the year. the prog will be in 8 parts and it's called The Real Good LifeThe producer is Tom Gould, but unfortunately the article I read didn't say what channel the programme will be on or when so we'll have to keep our eyes peeled
then, on the other hand, i think wouldn't it be nice to know how to make your own soap and cremes? how to make various food things from scratch? and yet again - no! i am the child of a spoilt generation - i use a washing machine, not wash by hand. i use stock cubes, not make my own stock and freeze/dry it. i buy clothes, not make them. ok, i knit, and i can sew on a button, but that's about all. i am sure my grandma was a dab hand with her foot-powered sewing machine. she knows how to mend a large rip in a dress or shirt. i don't. it's a very tough call.
