I am sixty five and have been a vegetarian since eighteen when the dreadful realisation of what goes on behind the scenes dawned. I have many terrible video type scenes of terrible and needless animal cruelty in my head which I have to try and push down all the time. I dont want to go on and on here, but would love to know where I can buy your food products apar from Selfridges.

It fits with my view of a sustainable economy, mainly based on a Vegan lifestyle (not just diet) but allowing for grazing on "amenity grassland" of which parts of the Dales would feature and such as the great parks of our old country manor houses (e.g. Chatsworth). Most of the uplands ought to be returned to its natural state, mixed forestry to balance the forces of nature (greenhouse gases, methane). The keeping of cattle in the vast numbers that we do today is causing more pollution than all the World's transport combined and those cattle are mainly for the benefit of just the affluent West. I think we both have to admit there would never be enough wool for all of the textile market, just the top end, as it used to be. I used to keep poultry under similar ethical conditions 50% hens 50% males right on to 14-15 years old. Asked why I had to comment on a few of them that they were still producing prizewinning offspring for me every year! Sheep once were considered too valuable to slaughter for meat except for the very rich. I must be one of the few incomers to Yorkshire to differentiate between 'wool and worsted' as a woven product and why they were so concentrated in their own districts, blending seamlessly from worsted to cotton on the other side of the Pennines (climate). My own experience in the trade was weaving glass fibre in a former silk mill, tricky stuff with a similar 'long staple!'. I have not forgotten how to set up the machinery for spinning (doubling in our case) and weaving although it was over 30 years ago that so many of us were made redundant. I don't think my old back would let my draw in a warp on a loom though. Hope the venture continues to prosper.
