Absolutely, Z. I'm enrolled in an organic, locally-grown produce delivery collective and love my weekly deliveries (although, according to them, I eat enough produce for a family of 8; thanks Paleo). I buy only wild fish from a local fish market. I need to find a good butcher shop or source for local meat (slacking on research). I use Whole Foods now.
Also, and this is widely overlooked, drink good water. Lots of good water.
-
Good water as in filtered with a Britta jug or good water from a bottle?
-
Well, I fill up 5 gallon glass jugs from this place:

It's probably a little overkill. Most groceries have machines that will fill up 5 gallon jugs with filtered water for $1.50.
Don't buy bottles, though. There are way too many plastic bottles in the world.
And I'm always worried Britas don't work how they should.
-
Yeah, just checking you weren't a bottle man ;). I use a Brita jug at home because London water is grotesque. The filter makes a huge difference to the taste of my coffee, tea and Scotch and the water doesn't leave limescale all over my kettle and coffee gear so I'm happy.

I went to the local farmer's market and they sell food coming from Mexico, Costa Rica etc. same stuff we can get from a nationwide grocery chain. Whole Foods is nice, it is convenient but slightly more expensive. Really wish I can find some authentic locally grown and organic food in one place without driving around towns/cities to get them.

I drink water from the tap cause I have a budget that goes towards beer and wine… And cheese... And chocolate mousse without gelatine... But I digress...
Oh and I find it noble that you watch out what you eat, lads... I try to avoid a lot of things but compensate it by being a lazy arsehole and buy pre-packed cheese or salads and all that...
-
My water tastes fine but is super hard. Makes using the dishwasher almost useless. But we recently had a water softener installed. Ditching the 2.5 gal Brita tap dispenser.
-
Tap water all the way!
Just got off a loooooong flight to London. Sweet Baby Jesus it's cold here…hasn't anyone realised its almost summer?Wow, it's nearly winter back home and warmer than this!
Just as we'll that I love this place for other reasons.
Is Gosport weather typically better or worse than London? Anyone?
RnR.

Heh, welcome to London. You missed our three days of summer last weekend I'm afraid.

I know Davito knows about this, but check out one of the best, if not the best denim sawtooth western on the market. The price reflects this as well ($295). Made in America out if a 7oz grey cast indigo denim with real mother of pearl snaps. I'd love to see a 10oz-12oz version from IH.

Sometimes is, sometimes isn't, but it is always windier….

Today Haraki and I decided that we would make the following shirt extant and (usually) aways available. There will be times when we run out of sizes, but they will in constant production…
IHSH-13
IHSH-79
IHSH-33
IHSH-33-Black
IHSH-81Having these basic essentials makes complete sense and we believe it will make things easier for you guys.
-
Great idea, I think that having your basics in a constant production loop makes perfect sense.
