Can’t wait for @damianbarr.bsky.social’s #TheTwoRoberts, & this piece is excellent. Much chimes with my queer women farmers of the rural homefront in #GhostsoftheFarm (though in a far quieter way!) who were so different from their ‘Bloomsberry’ neighbours. But so much chimes with then & now, look!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this piece and thanks for supporting the Two Roberts. Just days to go and they will be with you!
They sound such incredible people. Bravo for bringing them out into the light!
Ghosts of the Farm sounds fascinating!
Ah thank you … heartening revelation to find that two women farmers, a romantic couple, were loved & accepted in such a rural place. Absolutely the heart of the village, whereas the Bloomsberries appeared superior & frosty & were disliked for that!
I love to hear all this!
Just so joyfully positive, isn’t it! And rare for that!
