It has been on my mind for a while now. Every time I log in to Facebook I see images that I don't want to see. Images shared by people believing that sharing a picture a thousand times, of a poor animal being beaten, will actually stop that action happening again. As my friend said, I am so over it!
I will miss following friends who I don't see in person (Hello Scotland, Bedford and Australia), but I have other ways of communicating with them.
I think that the plans we have for the next year will keep me busy enough!
We are Tracy & Steven and along with our 2 children we moved to the countryside in the North East of England in 2016. On our smallholding we strive for a more self reliant life by growing our own food, raising our own meat, cooking, preserving & foraging all whilst working full time.

ReplyDeleteWe have used FB to advertise events at our village hall - I am on the fund raising committee. Last year we raised £3,000 in all so I'll stay for now. I tend to post photos as a record of my contentment and appreciation - I despise constant materialistic posts.
ReplyDeleteWell I have decided to activate my account again and the reason is people want to see pictures and stay in touch so it's another medium to use. I will post and check friends posts but not scroll through and hopefully I will avoid the posts I want to avoid!
