Whether you live in a small flat in the city or have land of your own in the countryside, The Self-Sufficiency Bible is packed with practical information and expert advice to help you sit up and say, I can do that!
Simon Dawson's mother did not love him, and informed him of this fact often. She tried to give him away, played him off against abusive boyfriends, and failed to feed him. But eventually Simon found a soul mate and they now care for a menagerie of animals. In his new book he tries to achieve some kind of reconciliation before his mum dies.
Amidst the backdrop of a Devonshire smallholding, the narrative unfolds the humorous and relatable struggles of a man facing middle age. Blending personal anecdotes with his experiences among animals, the story captures the essence of age-related anxieties, showcasing both the challenges and the lighter moments of life in the countryside. The author's journey is not just about coping with age but also finding joy and laughter in unexpected places, as highlighted in his appearance on Channel 5's New Lives in the Wild.
A fully revised and updated edition of the self-sufficiency classic. Packed with practical information and expert advice on everything from gardening to cooking, and from health and beauty to raising livestock, this is the indispensable guide to living more sustainably, whether you live in a city apartment block or on a rural smallholding.
