Fences and more fences Gwil when all that is really needed is compassion.
ReplyDeleteDrove alongside the Mallerstang yesterday and thought of you.
As we have seen in Germany during the Cold War and in Palestine in more recent times fences have a nasty habit of evolving into Walls. Good fences might make good neighbours but their subsequent replacement with walls creates a siege mentality. The Berlin Wall started with a harmless looking roll of barbed wire such as you probably have on the farm.
