Part of the decision included NOT buying an industrial lawnmower, the purchase and running of which would be near an annual wage for one person. Instead we would continue with two strimmers: slower, more labour intensive, but cheaper and greener. And they agreed that they'd rather lower their individual expectations and see one more family fed. Net result: I am much less pro mechanisation and rationalisation of staff than I was. It is part of my civic responsibility to have the luxury of a large staff, I do no favours by trying to "not exploit the third world divide"...

We, all, need the beauty and support of nature.Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.com
