fibre as planned plus tadpoles

Yesterday I spend another 2 hours in a creek & under a bridge catching tadpoles with my son, I am consistently surprised that the bulk of people who see us catching things in creeks think it seems dangerous or unhygienic to wade around in water courses, do you forget that for even my generation of children 15 years back spent whole weekends wandering with apples in pockets wading in streams & climbing whatever looked hardest, this is called exploring an essential part of a childhood IMHO, it's being in nature, it's going outside & finding the fun in being physical  this so much healthier than sitting in a manic-ly clean living room on little chairs playing with game consoles & looking into bedrooms full of branded plastic toys from tv shows having no idea how to play creatively because most modern toys have one purpose they don't combine with others or change to suit a need they just light up or look like some demented character from.
While my son has too many toys due to inheriting so much from mine & my siblings childhood I am proud to have masses of wooden blocks & construction toys & combining these makes for messy sideways fun.
As for hygiene my son is not constantly ill in spite of not living in a sterile environment not does he suffer from any modern disorders like asthma or allergies he does not get rashes or twinges or complain of pain, he does not have headaches or ear aches or anything else & I attribute this to eating foods in their natural state 95% of which are made entirely of ingredients I can pronounce not living in a mental clean home because we have better things to do & spending weekends roaming around even in light rain jumping into rivers & climbing up trees.

I try not to be a crazy idealist but I do think that people need to stop buying into the consumerist crap plaguing kids & start cooking real foods & actually being with their children, BTW manic-ly dragging your children to activities all weekend is not the same as daily child driven play & slow time to meet your kids & let them have a childhood.


On from this here are the pictures of fibre 

The last of the previously posted braids

The jacob braids

And the BFL silk

And now depending on how manicly I clean I may be working on some new dye jobs
