I&#8217;d followed Ludwig on Facebook for some time and was therefore happy to be invited over to see their place! It became clear that their hearts weren&#8217;t fully into their piece of land due to &#8220;circumstances&#8221; and that they were looking for somewhere new to really develop their ideas and run permaculture courses. It turned out that they had a secret as plans were already advanced and a few weeks later they would be moving to the Rubha Phoil Forest Gardens, on Skye (Armadale within walking distance of the Mallaig ferry!), a big loss for Forres&#8230;.. I wish them good luck and hope to visit them there in the next couple of years (I have a special relationship with Skye and the Inner Hebrides from the time I lived in Scotland)!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"dmh86\" data-offset-key=\"cp6p3-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"cp6p3-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"cp6p3-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">I wish I&#8217;d taken notes on the day as I&#8217;ve forgotten some of the details&#8230;hopefully <\/span><\/span><span class=\"_5u8u\" spellcheck=\"false\" data-offset-key=\"cp6p3-1-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"cp6p3-1-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">Ludwig Appeltans<\/span><\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"cp6p3-2-0\"><span data-text=\"true\"> will add some comments to the pictures<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"dmh86\" data-offset-key=\"7a4am-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"7a4am-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"7a4am-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">Read more about Earth Ways here: https:\/\/www.earth-ways.co.uk\/about <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-8548 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=8550'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1650780-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-8550\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-8550'>\n\t\t\t\tTour of the gardens, followed by the running ducks!\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=8551'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1650782-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=8552'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1650785-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=8553'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1650788-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-8553\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-8553'>\n\t\t\t\tGreat to see a good sized Hablitzia here too!
