Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
'Till I see the mountains rise.
Ba boo ba ba boo.(Andrew's sisters)
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon 'till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in.
No.
Poppa, don't you fence me in

Hi everyone. I just love this old song by Bing Crosby and we should sing it every night around the campfire as we travel this country of ours. All you guys in caravans or tents, who appreciate being free and  away from the pressures of daily life....LET'S HEAR IT LOUD AND CLEAR and make it our nomads THEME SONG.
I would love to hear from you. Travel well and safe, Shanti

THINKING


In previous articles I have casually mentioned the use of our brains, to think things over carefully in many circumstances.
This morning, walking in the sun for my daily dose of Vitamin D,, I was smelling a strong smell of washing powder coming from the laundry.
One of the people, who had just done his laundry, put his clothes in the dryer and the outlet blew the dried air from the drier, right into my direction. It was quite strong and it made me think (again).
Why does the smell from clean clothes, smell so strongly of laundry powder, after having been washed?
Obviously, the washing machine did NOT rinse these clothes properly and a certain amount of detergent was still in these clothes, which was activated by the hot air of the drier. So, in other words, his clothes were NOT clean, or better, NOT  free from chemicals..
Years ago, a friend of mine, complained of having skin rashes all the time and his wife asked me what the cause could be. I asked her some questions and it appeared that he was allergic to washing powder. (The chemicals in them).
I suggested to her to wash ALL HIS CLOTHES, WHETHER CLEAN OR NOT, with an organic washing liquid or with ;laundry balls''; (*) and see what happens. She did and "BINGO", the problem was solved.
(*) These laundry balls are a plastic ball or other shape, filled with certain crystals, which break the surface tension of the  water, which is the same action as laundry powders/liquids have, without any chemicals. You put one of these balls in the washing machine together with the dirty clothes and leave  that there for the whole washing cycle, rinsing and all.
There are also products available such as 'SOAP NUTS' . I have covered both these products previously. Please look them up in my book or check the internet, especially if you have a reaction to laundry chemicals. It is always better to PREVENT (here is that word prevent again) this from happening, rather than trying to cure it with. more chemicals..
A few weeks later, this couple had to attend a wedding and he wanted to wear a particular pair of socks, but could not find them, but upon looking into the very back of his socks drawer, he found them. He wore them and that was that, till in the morning, he showed a rash on his feet, up to the ankles, where the socks touched his skin.
This pair of socks were not washed with the recommended laundry balls I had suggested and they were still impregnated with nasty chenicals, he was allergic to.
I was very happy for him, to be able to help him, at the same time suggesting the use of organic, natural cleaners troughout the house, from laundry to kitchen and even body clesnres, like shampoos, body washes etc.
I have done so much research in all of these chemicals and they are all toxic, VERY TOXIC. They contain such chemicals as Sodium Laurel/laureth sulphate, which is a foaming agent and is a nasty chemical..You find that chemical in ALL household cleanes, body washes,and even toothpaste: YES you put that in your mouth. It is even in body moisturisers. Start THINKING GUYS!
THIS ARTICLE IS TO REMIND YOU, TO THINK about everything all the time.There are so many hidden flaws in our daily life today, put there by the large companies, who just want to make money. I feel very sad, that we have been so brainwashed in all parts of our lives.
I watched a program on ABC TV, called "THE WAR ON WASTE",. Craig Reucassel, the presenter, is very passionate about this subject. He started the program in 2017. He is extremely keen to teach all of us, to think abou how much waste we create, by viewing the warehouse full of SOFT PLASTIC for instance something we cannot recycle at present. These soft plastics, once upon a time were sent to China, are now being stockpiled, as China has put a restriction on the import of that material. That is just ONE THING.
We have been told before, that so many sea creatures are sufficating on plastic materials and are dying a horrible death, but listen to this ....Craig himself had his stool examined by a pathology test and guess what they found?
Yes indeed, it proved, he too had plastic residue in his body, through the USE of plastic packaging.. I did not think this was possible, but the figures don't lie.
I have always been aware of plastic packaging and when I buy in plastic, I generallly decanter the contents  into a glass container, especially if the product lasts a while, before use. Whenever I can,I buy products in  glass containers.
When using clingwrap, I make sure, that the food in my boel, does NOT TOUCH the wrapper, by firstly covering the food with baking paper.
Juices and milks, sold in these cartons, are contaminated by the numeroud layers of plastic, aluminium s and cardboard. These containers CANNOT BE RECYCLED and have to go to landfill.
Yes, I remember the days when the 'milko' used to come around, first thing in the morning and leave you your milk order on the door step IN GLASS BOTTLES.
We all have to be more responsible and recycle everything. Please think of the future of the children, who will have to put op with all this mess, we have created.
Fortunately, there are a few people in the world, who work hard and do all they can to manage this recycling problem, BUT THEY NEED YOUR HELP. 
THINK BEFORE YOU ACT! 
I write this with love in my heart, Shanti
