ᛉ ᛟ : Rural Rebels : ᛟ ᛣ

I fully support this idea to reinvigorate ancient English names in our people, rather than the shameful Hebrew names which have become all too popular among us. https://youtu.be/uUaJiD2YV-0

I'm always honoured when people/pages share my poetry, but must admit I'm pretty chuffed that @imperiumpress reshared one. Many thanks ❄️ https://t.me/ImperiumPressOfficial/2628?single

ᛗ : ᚱebel ᚱecipes : The fruiting Medlar tree (Mespilus Germanica) seems to have become a forgotten fruit of England. After teaching a client today how to harvest, blet & create Medlar jelly, I thought I'd do the same for you lot of madlads & maddettes. : Harvest : Medlar fruit can be picked from late October through November (depending on weather). This year I've been able to pick Medlars even as late as today because of the weather we've had. Now, if you enjoy winding people up, convince them that Medlars can be eaten raw straight from the tree & watch their face...it's the same sensation as having a bag of sand in your mouth, really really dry. Much like most fruit, if a the Medlar pulls with ease from the branch, it's ready. : Bletting : Medlars can be cooked raw but it's easier to 'blet' them first. Lay the Medlars in a wide basket or tray (like apples not piled or crammed) with eyes down. In a cool room leave to blet for 3/4 weeks. If you're anxious about rotting, you can roll them in salt first to avoid rotting, but I've never seen the need. They are ready when a dark brown & very soft. : Jelly : I've tried a few recipes but I've found the chef Nigel Slater's to be a favourite which I have in a book but it's probably also online; Ingredients: Bletted Medlars 1.5kg 2 Apples 3 Lemons 800g Sugar 2 litres Water I start by halfing all the fruit & putting them into our biggest cast iron pan & cover with water. Bring it to a boil, then semi cover on a low heat for an hour or so. With occasional stirring without trying to totally squash or break apart any fruit as this can lead to a cloudy final jelly. Once done all the pan's contents goes into a jelly-bag over a large jug & left to drip through until all that's left is the remains of the mushy fruits & the jug full of the lovely light red/amber fruit juice. Next, add the jug's contents to a new pan and boil for a further 5mins followed by the sugar stirred in & dissolved, then followed by a final 2/3mins. That's it, done, now simply add the mixture to clean jars and leave to cool, & by morning it's ready to rock. Hope that is helpful & was worth the time to type out, for a luddite like me, that's a while... ;) ᛇ

ᛗ Medlars (Mespilus Germanica) a great underappreciated late Autumn fruit. ᛇ

☝🏻 I'd go a step further: If the people who actively care about Europe expended half the effort on reinvigorating European culture that they spend complaining about the horrors presented to them by the news cycle, we'd be considerably further.

ᛏ If the peoples of Europe gathered, voiced their opinions & discussed with even half the enthusiasm as they are/do on the perpetual dealings & goings on of those of the Abrahamic death cults, on reinvigorating our own culture & devising our unity, can you imagine how much further we'd be? ᛣ

ᚢ : Nerd Alert : This quick post will probably be of interest for a tiny fragment of those who view this page, as many probably that died directly of C19, but as it's a recurring question/conversation I thought I'd address it. Those who know me know I'm a RPG nut & have been from a very young age (you can see where this is going I'm sure), as you can imagine the most common response today is "ah right, never played them ( because I have a life ;) but have you played Varg's one?" Well, yes, I have for many years (I've got every edition of MYFAROG & played each iteration) so, what's it like, let's find ooout! (cheap gag but had to be done). I'll keep it brief as the nerdy side won't interest most, but, much like his music, it's brilliant. For myself, it was a pretty great moment all those years ago to hear when he was going to release an RPG (I mean, who'd have actually thought). The world design is intricate, balanced, intriguing & excellent for story telling. The game is undeniably a homage to 'old school' RPG's such as Rolemaster, MERP etc, being on the in-depth crunchy side, but he's crafted it to be faster, more 'adventurous' & fun, which is also great for new or younger players. The game mechanics/combat is right up my street, believable, enjoyable, takes good amount of team discussion & planning for each task/quest/journey. The system isn't convoluted or over fantastical, but grounded in low-fantasy & mythos. Right, think that'll do for that as I doubt many will have read this far. It is a great game, excellent system & not just 'because he made it' as I would say if I thought it was no good or rubbish. For those interested in starting RPG's it genuinely a good starter game. So, thanks for reading, bye bye. ᚨ

ᚾ Recently I was going through old school memorabilia & report cards, & found a few amusing quotes from teachers at the age of around 14: '...A*** continues to receive detention seemingly on purpose so that he's able to miss classes to work alongside Mr Alan amongst the vegetable areas and gardens of the school. I have continued to remind him that can lead to no profitable future...' '...his enthusiasm for WW2 is encouraging, although his interest in studying Nazi Germany can be disconcerting...' I guess in tedious modern terms one would say 'oh babay I waz born dis way' ;) ᛇ

ᚹ For there's no shame in the acceptance of exhaustion, to take time to oneself, to heal, recoup, reflect, as one will return stronger in the long run. Focus on the war not the battle. ᚾ
