Prince Charles and the National Geographic

The May issue of the National Geographic has a wonderful article about
Prince Charles and how his ideas on organic farming, working with the
environment and providing jobs for residents of the Duchy of Cornwall
are working.

It also, in a round about way, gives us a little insight into his
character. Aparenty, he gives his tenants free shooting rights,
repairs their homes with care for their historic fabric, and gives them
all Christmas presents.

Well, no matter what you think of Prince Charles, there are some
beautiful pictures of Cornwall, and Sacha, there is a two page
panoramic view of a Warren Farm on the Dartmoor uplands. Isn't that in
your neighborhood? Even if it isn't, boy it is beautiful.

Charles sounds like a great guy to work for.

there's a Warren Farm at Postbridge and I was over that way two days
ago, returning from visiting a garden at Buckland Monachorum, which is
also where Buckland Abbey is, once home to Sir Francis Drake. We're
the Ashburton side of the moor. Ashburton is within the Dartmoor
National Park and is 2.5 miles away from us so we're just outside the
park. Haytor is visible from the hill behind us. And yes, Dartmoor is
outstandingly beautiful and never fails to lift my spirits, whatever
the weather. We know some tenant farmers of the Duchy and they speak
highly of the Prince of Wales as a landlord. He knows a lot more
about farming and country life than any politician and he really
*listens* to the concerns and worries of farmers but immediately round

Oh, now stop. You're trying to put a few facts into the discussion and
that will never do ;)

us most of the farmers are tenants of the Church Commissioners.
