Thank you for this - always an interesting read! Totally agree with you about 'letting nature do its thing'. We've already interfered too much. Manage nature sensitively, and try to destroy as little as possible is perhaps the best we can hope for. Here, I have to fight back constantly against the march of trees. Native trees such as ash, hawthorn and elder, but in a few years they would engulf the garden and in a few decades overwhelm the house too. I like your approach to selling your cork, as long as your buyer realizes why you are choosing to accept less. And finally, fingers crossed for your immigration dossier. Look forward to your update video when you can publish it.
They grind up cork and press it onto a sheet of paper, which makes a kind of composite material. They sell postcards made from cork in every tourist shop here. They used to make gaskets with cork, now they use rubber or plastic. They still use it to seal the keys on flutes.
