This episode of The English Homemaker is a conversation with my brother, Martin, about how we can start to use the principles of permaculture as homemakers. We talk through our beginner level understanding of the fascinating ethics and principles behind this design science. It's super applicable to all of us, it's not about agriculture, it's not about homesteading, it's a way of living in alignment with our values and the planet and the communities we are in.

This is a really impassioned conversation between my older brother Martin and I - he has been in two previous episodes and those set some of the groundwork for today, so do go and listen to Episodes 7 and 14 as well to hear more about who he is and how his gorgeous family moved to Sweden.
