I-Rhug Manor e-North Wales beyingeyomndeni ka-Lord Newborough kusukela ngekhulu lesificamunwemunye, kodwana bekazimisele ukwenza izinto ngokuhlukileko
Ngelanga elikhanyako ngoNobayeni ekuseni e-Corvin, e-North Wales, aholwa ma-truffle wakhe we-Labrador, ngemva kokudlula i-gorse ne-bracken phezulu entabeni, u-Lord Newborough uchaza umbono onzima phambi kwethu. 'Ngu-Di Gu lo. Phambi kwesitolo seplasini, kuneentaba ze-Berwyn. Indawo le yake yahlanganiswa nendawo esegwini, ehlanganisa amahektha angama-86,000, kodwana imisebenzi yewayini, abafazi, nabafileko yenza bona ihlukane.
U-Lord Newborough nomndenakhe baneminyaka ema-71. Ziyi-cuttlefish encani. Bagqoke izambatho ezivamileko, amahembhe we-plaid kanye noboya. Bagqoka izambatho ezijayelekileko. Bebahlala e-Rhug (ebizwa nge-Reeg) Manor. Kodwana elinye lamatjhuguluko amakhulu khulu lenzeka ngo-1998, lokha u-Lord Newborough (u-Lord Newborough) nakathoma ukutjhugulula ilifa lakhe laba lilifa lemvelo lokha nakathatha isikhundla ngemva kokuhlongakala kwakayise, ebekungakajayeleki ngesikhatheso. tjhida.
Namhlanjesi, inyama ye-Rhug ephumelele imiklomelo (“sinezinga eliphezulu lokuqakathekiswa yi-Michelin”) ifaka hlangana inyama yenkomo, yemvu, inyama yenyamazana kanye ne-bison, begodu ithandwa bapheki abafakahlangana u-Raymond Blanc no-Marcus Wareing. Ukusuka e-River Coffee Ukusuka ehholo ukuya e-Clarence, kunamatafula wokudlela amahle khulu yoke indawo. Kodwana, i-bison ne-Sika (umhlobo weenyamazana ezihle khulu ze-Japan) kungenzeka bona zikhuthaze ukukhula kwakhe: "Inyama ye-Venison ne-bison ziyinyama yesikhathi esizako-inyama ebomvu "ephilileko" encani ukudlula iimfesi nofana inkukhu, Zinamaminerali amanengi begodu zinamafutha aphasi. Zikudla okuhle khulu begodu ziyisiphakamiso esihle khulu."
Ukube uyise bekangayibona nje, bengekhe ayibone. “Empeleni, le yinyama yenkomo neyemvu. Mlimo oyisisekelo ongasebenzisi imali encani, okhiqiza kancani, kodwana uthanda ukusebenzisa amakhemikhali amanengi khulu. Nange ngingamtjela bona ngifuna izinto eziphilako, angangiphuca. Ilifa.
U-Lord Newborough bekasolo amtjhayeli, kodwana i-adventure yakhe yakamuva yammangaza. Usezongena emakethe yobuhle. Eminyakeni emibili edlulileko, ngifake ikhrimu enengi ebusweni bami ukudlula epilweni yami.
I-Wild Beauty mhlobo ophezulu wokutlhogomela isikhumba nokutlhogomela umzimba. Kunemikhiqizo eli-13, kufaka hlangana amathuthumbo we-tonic kanye ne-stevia, kanye ne-bergamot ne-nettle shower gel-amaphesente ama-50 weenongo ezikulolu chungechunge zivela endaweni le.
Wathi: "Kwakhuthazwa yindawo lapha, nokucabanga ngokuthi singenzani nge-manor." “Ngikhamba khulu begodu ngicabanga ngaphandle komthelo, “Iphi indatjana lapha? Ikuphi imithombo yemikhiqizo le? "Lokhu kucabanga kwethu ngokusetjenziswa kwenyama. Ngicabanga bona lokhu kuqakathekile begodu iinkambisolawulo ezifanako zizokusebenza ekunakekelweni kwesikhumba."
Ububanzi buyi-vegan, i-halal begodu ayina-gluten. Wathi, ngifuna ukuthembeka, ngombana ngicabanga bona kunokungathembeki okunengi lapho. Eminyakeni embalwa edlulileko, ngenze irhubhululo ngemikhiqizo eminengi, kodwana azange ngithole umkhiqizo onenani lezitifiketi esizitholileko.
U-Iain Russell, umphathi wezokuphatha we-Rogge, wangitjela bona unamandla, unamandla, begodu unekghono, begodu ubonakala angadinwa. Nsuku zonke uvuka ngo-5.45 ekuseni ("Ngiphendula omunye umuntu ngo-6 ekuseni namhlanje, ngimbuza bona bangathenga na imikhiqizo yethu e-London"), bese ugijima umtjhini wakhe wokugijima. Umkhiqizo wakhe wakamuva mtjhini wokukhiqiza i-oksijini ebiza i-£4,000, ayisebenzisa kabili ngelanga. Wathi: "Ngiyafunga: koke lokhu kuyingcenye yokufuna ubutjha obuphakade."
Lokha nakathatha indawo le, beyineensebenzi ezili-9 kwaphela, ehlanganisa ama-acre ama-2500, begodu nje sele ihlanganisa amahektha ali-12,500 (okufaka hlangana isitolo, ikhefi, ukudla okuthathwako kanye nesitimela-leli lipulazi lokuthoma le-Britain), banabasebenzi abali-100. Wathi eminyakeni eli-12 eyadlulako, imali esiyitholako ikhuphuke ukusuka kumaphawundi ayi-1.5 yezigidi ukuya kumaphawundi ayi-10 wezigidi. 'Leli libhizinisi elikhulako, kodwana libuye libe libhizinisi elihlukahlukeneko. Ukulima akukwenzi imali, njeke ukungezelela inani nokusebenzisa ipahla nanyana kukuphi lapho kungenzeka khona yindlela yokuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwepahla yesikhathi esizako. ”
Kumhloli omkhulu, u-Richard Prideaux, lokhu kwavela ngokwemvelo ebhizinisini lokudla kweganga egade aliphethe ekhaya lakhe esikhathini esidlulileko, elathuthuka ukusuka ebhizinisini lokuthenga izithako zokudla kweenlwana eendaweni zokudlela eziphambili ze-London ukuya e-Wild Beauty. "Into yokuthoma ekufuze siyenze kufunda amarekhodi weenhlolombono ngokutjheja bese sithi lokhu kukhula kwelifa njengombana siyazi, bese siqala emuva ukuthola bona lisekhona na, khuyini nje begodu khuyini okunye?"
Ngokuvamileko, isikhathi sokwenza umkhiqizo siziinyanga ezisibhozo, begodu nakuqalwa isikhathi sokukhetha, ukuhlela ngaphambilini ngikho koke. U-Lord Newborough wahlathulula: "Ekuthomeni, umkhiqizi wakuthola kubudisi ukugcina ihloko ehlanzekileko kizo zoke iinkhathi zomnyaka." Wabuza, “Ngingagqoka i-gorse, ngingagqoka i-heather? U-Richard wathi, “Awa, angeze waba lapho ngaso soke isikhathi. ”
"Nje ngihlela ikhalenda yokuthoma kwenyanga kaMhlolanja ukuqinisekisa bona sinesikhathi esaneleko sokubuthelela izithako lezi," kungezelela u-Prideaux. Sinedayari yezulu; sifuna ukwazi bona iqathaniswa njani nomnyaka ophelileko. ”
Ubuncani bomsebenzi butjho bona i-Prideaux ivamise ukusebenzisa ama-awa abunane kibo boke ubujamo bezulu, iqoqa yoke into kusukela e-gorse ukuya e-nettle.
U-Prideaux unendima ekulu ukudlula ipilo, umnyaka lo "Ngisaziwako... ake ngiphume lapha!" “Umhlahlandlela wokuphila nomcebisi, ngebanga le-Covid (Covid), ikhamphani yathatha indawo ye-Australia nge-Abgeele Castle (Abgeele). Bekasolo afuna ukudla kusukela ekuzalweni kwakhe.
“Ababelethi bami balimi abasebenza enarheni le. Abazwisisi zoke iintjalo ezisesihlahleni namkha esimini, begodu abazi ukusetjenziswa kwazo nokunambitheka kwazo. Lokhu kuyaqabukela. Bengingaboni lokho mhlamunye bekwaba kulapho ngiya esikolweni. Akusibo boke abathola ifundo efanako.”
Namhlanjesi ekuseni, uphume wayokutjhinga ngamadolo akhe ngaphakathi emlanjeni, akha ama-beet etjanini, okuyinhlobo yesitjalo esikhula khulu emaphethelweni wotjani obudala bamanzi. “Umnqopho wethu kukubuthelela ikhilogremu eyodwa ukuya kwembili yemikhiqizo eyomileko-[lezi] zitjalo zibonakala ziqukethe amanzi angama-85% ukuya ku-98%. Indlela yami yokufuna ukudla kukuqeda ilanga ngikhamba phezulu, kodwana sibone nokutlhogonyelwa kweentjalo Iinjamiso ezingathathwa ngesikhathi esifanako nenani labantu. Kunemithetho eqinileko yokubuthelela begodu kufuze ihlotjaniswe: ngalokho-ke yoke into kufanele ihlotjaniswe.
I-Meadowsweet mthombo omkhulu we-salicylic acid (isithako esisetjenziswa ku-aspirin) kanye ne-astringent, etholakala kuma-cleanser we-Wild Beauty, ama-serum kanye nama-eye cream. "Ngiyazi imiphumela yayo yokwelapha nokuqeda ubuhlungu, kodwana ukusetjenziswa kwayo ekunakekelweni kwesikhumba kuyisambulo kimi." Kutjho u-Prideaux, anginikela ikari bona ngilichoboze. Iveza ukunambitheka okumnandi kwe-marshmallow/ikhukhamba. Wathi: "Lokha umswakama lo nawuphelelwa mamanzi ehhovisini lethu, kuba ngelinye lamaphunga angcono." “Kufanele siphayone khulu. Kulula ukutjho bona “Khamba ukhethe i-nettle”, kodwana kuqunta bona izokubekwa njani nokuthi itlhoga kangangani. Wahlangana neenkhathi ezimbi endleleni.
Inhluthu ngayinye engaphasi kwekhasi le-nettle ifana nomjovo ongaphasi kwesikhumba ogcwele i-formic acid, ehlaba khulu. Lokha nasele iphelelwe ngamanzi, bekungakaneli ukubuna iinhluthu lezo, njeke nasithoma ukulinga, ngavula umnyango we-dehydrator begodu ngaphefumula ifu leenhluthu lezi. Ngigwazwe yi-trachea namaphaphu. Ngesikhathi esizako ngizokugqoka imaski, amagilavu ​​namagogolosi. U-Lord Newborough wabelethelwa endlini enkulu. Ubuntwana bakhe bekukuthiya iimfesi emifuleni le begodu agibele amaponi nabodadwabo ababili. Kuzwakala kukuhle, kodwana bekasolo aziveza kusukela asesemncani.
"Ubaba usihlukumeza khulu. Izinto ebengizilindele kuye bezingakalungi ngokwaneleko," wangitjela. "Ngesikhathi ngineminyaka emithathu, ngagwedlelwa phakathi kwe-Menai Strait ngaphandle kokugwedla, begodu ngatjelwa bona ngibuyele ngesinyathelo sami-lokho bekukuvula iphasi lesikepe. Iphasi lisetjenziswa njengesigwedlo."
Bekathathwa njengomlimi kusukela asesemncani njengoyise. "Soke kufuze sisebenze eplasini. Ngatjhayela itrektara ngineminyaka elitjhumi." Kodwana, njengombana avuma, iimfundo zakhe "bezingasizo ezihle khulu ephasini." Ngemva kokuqotjhwa esikolweni sokulungiselela ukulwa, ukutjhwaba kanengi nokubaleka, wafunda e-Agricultural College begodu wathunyelwa e-Australia.
Ubaba wangipha ithikithi lokuya kanye, wangitjela bona ngingafiki ezinye iinyanga ezili-12, bese wayokuthenga ithikithi lami. Ngemva kokubuyela ekhaya, waphethe ikhamphani yokuqatjha iinqhema zeenqhema kanye nebhodi yokukhiqiza i-elekthronikhi, bese waphatha ihlelo lokuvikela ukudoba e-Sierra Leone, lapho asinda khona ngokuthathwa kombuso kathathu. "Ngaphuma ngesikhathi isibhamu sivutha, bekungasiyindawo ehle. Ngaleso sikhathi, ubaba besele asebudaleni bakhe begodu ngabona ngasuthi kufuze ngibuyele ekhaya ngiyokusiza."
Nanyana gade adla ukudla okuphilako iminyaka eminengi, kwaba mhlapha athatha ilifa lapho u-Lord Newborough athatha isiqunto sokwakha kabutjha. “Sihlanganiswe ngokwemvelo kokuthoma. Umkami u-Su (sele batjhadile iminyaka ema-32, begodu woke umuntu unendodakazi emtjhadweni wangaphambilini) bekahlala angikhuthaza bona ngihambe ngalendlela, begodu kusukela ngesikhatheso, ukulima sele kumnandi.
Kodwana ekuthomeni, bekumzabalazo onzima. Amathimu amanengi weplasi (okufaka hlangana umalusi nomphathi omkhulu wemidlalo) asebenzele uyise iminyaka engaphezu kwama-30 begodu asungule imibono ejulileko. U-Lord Newborough wathi: "Bebacabanga bona ngiyahlanya, kodwana sabathatha bayokubona i-Highgrove, lapho kunomphathi weplasi okhuthazako. Nasele siyibona isebenza lapho, kuyazwakala. Angeze saphinde sibuke emuva."
INkosana ye-Wales beyisolo ingumuntu oqakathekileko ekhambweni laka-Rhug. “Uze lapha ukuzokuvakatjhela iplasi. Ilwazi lakhe lokulima ngendlela ephilako, ukutshwenyeka ngebhoduluko, idumo eliqinileko nokuthembeka okupheleleko kuyingcenye yokugqugquzela kwethu. Uzokuzwisisa. Njengesivikelo esikwazi khulu, ikosana ingadlulisa ilwazi lakhe. Iindlela ezihlaza zika-Rogge ze-hazel, i-ash, i-oak kanye ne-blackthorn zatjhugulula iintjalo zasendle nezibuyise uMvundla, ama-hedgehog, i-thrush kanye nendawo yotjani.
Omunye umeluleki nomngani ngu-Carole Bamford, owasungula umhlobo wesitolo sepulazi eliphilako i-Daylesford, begodu wasungula i-Bamford, okuyi-spin-off yezambatho nemikhiqizo yobuhle. U-Lord Newborough wathi: “Ngokuya ngokulima okuphilako, isikali sethu sikhulu kuno-Carole, kodwana bengisolo ngikuthanda koke akwenzako. Ngiyakuthanda imibono yokupakisha kwakhe nedumela lakhe elizinzileko. Begodu ngiqatjha umuntu osebenza ngemikhiqizo yokutlhogomela isikhumba ye-Bamford njengomcebisi wami.
I-Covid ekuthomeni yahlehlisa ukukhutjhwa kwe-Wild Beauty kusukela entwasahlobo. Ubhubhane lolu luthinte khulu iindawo zokuhlala, kuthi amabhizinisi athengisako athinteke khulu. Ngokudanisako wathi: “Iphasika kuvamise ukuba sikhathi sethu esiphithizela khulu.Sijame emnyango silindele bona ikoloyi idlule.” Wathi njengombana ithemba le-Brexit liseduze, sizokutlhoga woke amatjhaneli wokuthengisa bona akghone ukuzabalaza. Sizosibona esikhathini esifitjhani. "Kodwana asithembeli e-Europe (20% yenyama ithunyelwa ngaphetjheya-i-Hong Kong, i-Singapore ne-Macau, i-Dubai, i-Abu Dhabi ne-Qatar), njeke lokhu kusivikelo. Ngicabanga bona ukuphepha kokukghona ukuthumela ngaphandle eendaweni ezinothileko kuqakathekile esikhathini esizako."
Ngokuya nge-Covid, akanawo amatshwenyeko ngepilo yakhe: "Ngivuka qobe ekuseni ngiyokwenza umzimba, begodu nangabe ngifa, ngiyafa." Okumkhathaza khulu ziinlwana zeplasini. “Iinlwana kufanele ziphiwe ukudla, begodu sikhathazekile ngomthelela wesifo se-Covid hlangana nabasebenzi beplasi.” Ngetjhudu, lokhu akusiyo into okufuze baqalane nayo.
Akaneliseki ngokujama phasi. Ukuziphatha kwakhe kokusebenza okuqinileko (ilifa lobuntwana bakhe obubudisi) kutjho bona uvuka qobe langa begodu acabange ngokuthi enzeni ngokulandelako? Ilifa liyaphi? "Kuqakathekile ukuragela phambili nokuthuthukisa umhlobo wemikhiqizo ye-Wild Beauty-sifunda ngetjhampu, i-conditioner, i-sunscreen-kodwana ngifuna nokwakha umhlobo wephasi loke, begodu sikhulumisana nabasabalalisi e-Japan, e-Far East kanye ne-Middle East." Nangabe ubaba bekazi bona ukhiqiza imikhiqizo yokutlhogomela isikhumba, ucabangani? Wamomotheka ngokungakholwa. "Angaphenduka ethuneni... Awa, ngicabanga bona uzokuzikhakhazisa. Ngicabanga bona nje ufuna ukubona umdlwane omzungezileko."
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uhlela ukwakha kabutjha umhlambi wakhe we-bison awuthandako. Ngemva kokuhlongakala komkhuhlane we-catarrhal fever, inani lomhlambi we-bison lehla ukusuka kuma-70 ukuya kuma-20. "Kumbi khulu ukubona nokwazi bona awunalitho ongakwenza ukuwuvimba." Kodwana, njengombana u-Lord Newborough bekasolo asebenzisana ne-University of Liverpool ukwenza umjovo ozokuhlolwa ku-Rhug bison, kusese nethemba.
Begodu bekatshwenyekile ngomthelela wobujamo bezulu eplasini. 'Sibone amatjhuguluko amakhulu. Lokha nangisesemutjha, ichibi lapha belihlala liqhwa lize life. Akusekho ukuqanda ebusika. “Uthemba ukuthola ukugqugquzeleka ebujameni bezulu obufuthumeleko, begodu unethemba lokutjala iintjalo ezinengi ze-Mediterranean, ezifana ne-lavender namavini wamadiribe.
“Ngathana besingakaboni indawo efaneleko yamadiribe, bengingekhe ngimangale ngemva kweminyaka ema-20. Njenganje kunesivini sinye nofana ezimbili e-Wales. Kufanele sitjhugulukele ematjhugulukweni. ”
Uzimisele ukutjhiya iplasi lisebujameni bakhe obuhle khulu. "Ngifuna i-Rugg ivumelane nentuthuko yesikhathi esizako begodu ivumele ibe nepilo engapheliko. Ngifuna ukusebenzisa iinsetjenziswa uZimu asiphe zona. Ngicabanga bona sinesibopho sokutjhiya okuthileko okungcono kunalokho esikuzuze njengelifa." Ngicabanga bona ngendlela ethileko uyise angavuma khulu.
Siyakunxusa bona uvale isivimbeli seenkhangiso kuwebhusayithi ye-The Telegraph ukwenzela bona uragele phambili nokufikelela okuqukethwe kwethu okuphezulu esikhathini esizako.
