All in a Day's Walk
A month-long slow food walking performanceArchive for July 18, 2013
Horse hiatus
No, not a hernia of equine proportions from all this walking and vegetable-lugging.
Today is an important one: after 10 years living at Caplor Farm, my horse Merlin is moving down to join us in Lea. He will have a new home at Adam’s Cot, the farm next door. He should have been moved before I started the performance (because I can’t walk the 18 mile round trip to Caplor and back everyday to see him; or expect someone else to look ater him for a whole month) but the logistics didn’t work out.
So this is a necessary hiatus in the performance. I will be accepting a lift up to Caplor to pack him and his red-and-white spotted handkerchief of buckets and haynets. And accepting a lift back in the horse-box to deliver him home.
I will still be consuming local food in the process, however. (Hopefully.)
