No ka ʻohana o Lord Newborough ka Rhug Manor ma North Wales mai ke kenekulia ʻeiwa mai, akā ua paʻa kona manaʻo e hana i nā mea ma ke ʻano ʻokoʻa.
I kekahi kakahiaka lā o Kepakemapa ma Corvin, ʻĀkau o Wales, i alakaʻi ʻia e kāna mau truffles Labrador kokoleka, ma hope o ka hala ʻana o ka gorse a me ka bracken i ka piko o ka mauna, ua wehewehe ʻo Lord Newborough i ka hiʻohiʻona paʻakikī i mua o mākou.

Ua hui pū ʻia ka ʻāina me kahi ʻāpana ʻāina ma ke kahakai, e uhi ana i 86,000 ʻeka, akā ʻo nā kuleana o ka waina, nā wāhine, a me ka poʻe make e hoʻokaʻawale iā ia.
He 71 makahiki o Lord Newborough a me kona ʻohana. He ʻūhini lahilahi lākou. Ua ʻaʻahu ʻia lākou i nā lole maʻamau, nā pālule plaid a me ka hulu hipa. Ua ʻaʻahu lākou i nā lole maʻamau.

Akā ʻo kekahi o nā loli kipi loa i hana ʻia i ka makahiki 1998, i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ʻo Lord Newborough (Lord Newborough) e hoʻololi i kona hoʻoilina i hoʻoilina kūlohelohe i ka wā i hoʻoilina ai ʻo ia i ke poʻo inoa ma hope o ka make ʻana o kona makuakāne, he mea maʻamau ʻole ia i kēlā manawa. neʻe.
I kēia lā, ʻo nā ʻiʻo organik lanakila a Rhug ("loaʻa iā mākou kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka ʻike ʻia e Michelin") e komo pū ana me ka pipi, hipa, venison a me ka bison, a makemake nui ʻia e nā chef e like me Raymond Blanc lāua ʻo Marcus Wareing.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka bison a me Sika (he ʻano dia Kepani maikaʻi he 70) ka mea e hoʻoulu ai i kona hiki ke ulu: "ʻO Venison a me ka bison ka ʻiʻo o ka wā e hiki mai ana - he ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula "olakino" ʻoi aku ka wīwī ma mua o ka iʻa a i ʻole ka moa. He kiʻekiʻe lākou i nā minelala koʻikoʻi a haʻahaʻa i ka momona. He meaʻai maikaʻi loa lākou a he manaʻo kūpono loa."
Inā hiki i kona makuakāne ke ʻike i kēia manawa, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e ʻike. "ʻO ke kumu, he pipi a me ka hipa kēia. He mahiʻai maʻalahi ia me ka hoʻokomo haʻahaʻa, ka hua haʻahaʻa, akā makemake ʻo ia e hoʻohana i nā kemika he nui. Inā haʻi aku wau iā ia makemake au i nā meaola, e hoʻonele paha ʻo ia iaʻu. O ka hoʻoilina."
He alakaʻi mau ʻo Lord Newborough, akā ua hoʻopūʻiwa kāna huakaʻi hou loa iā ia. Ke kokoke nei ʻo ia e komo i ka mākeke nani. I nā makahiki ʻelua i hala iho nei, ua hoʻopili au i ka kirīmi ma koʻu maka ma mua o koʻu ola.
He huahana mālama ʻili a me ke kino organik kiʻekiʻe ʻo Wild Beauty. Aia he 13 mau huahana, me nā pua tonic a me ka stevia, a me ka bergamot a me ka nettle shower gel - 50% o nā mea hoʻohui i loko o kēia moʻo mai ka estate.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "Ua hoʻoulu ʻia e ka ʻāina ma ʻaneʻi, a me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ka mea hiki iā mākou ke hana me ka manor." "He nui kaʻu huakaʻi a ke ʻike nei au i ka noʻonoʻo ʻauhau ʻole, "ʻAuhea ka moʻolelo ma ʻaneʻi? ʻAuhea nā kumu o kēia mau huahana? "ʻO kēia ko mākou mau manaʻo no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻiʻo. Manaʻo wau he mea nui kēia a e pili nā loina like i ka mālama ʻili."
He vegan, halal a ʻaʻohe gluten ka laulā. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, makemake wau e haʻi pololei, no ka mea, manaʻo wau he nui ka hoʻopunipuni ma laila. I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua noiʻi au i nā huahana he nui, akā ʻaʻole i loaʻa iaʻu kahi huahana me ka nui o nā palapala hōʻoia a mākou i loaʻa ai.
Ua haʻi mai ʻo Iain Russell, ka luna hoʻokele o Rogge, iaʻu he ikaika, he ikaika, a he hiki ke hana, a me he mea lā ʻaʻohe ona luhi. I kēlā me kēia lā, ala ʻo ia i ka hola 5.45 o ke kakahiaka ("Pane wau i kekahi i ka hola 6 o ke kakahiaka nei, e nīnau ana inā hiki iā lākou ke kūʻai i kā mākou huahana ma Ladana"), a laila holo i kāna mīkini holo wāwae. ʻO kāna huahana hou loa he mea hana oxygen waiwai £4,000, āna e hoʻohana ai i ʻelua manawa i ka lā. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "Ke hoʻohiki nei au: ʻo kēia āpau kekahi hapa o ka ʻimi ʻana i ka ʻōpio mau loa."
I kona wā i lawe ai i ka ʻāina, he 9 wale nō limahana, e uhi ana i 2500 ʻeka, a i kēia manawa ua uhi ia i 12,500 ʻeka (me kahi hale kūʻai, hale ʻaina, mea lawe ʻai a ma o ke kaʻaahi - ʻo kēia ka mahiʻai Pelekane mua), he 100 ko lākou mau limahana. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i loko o nā makahiki 12 i hala iho nei, ua piʻi kā mākou loaʻa kālā mai 1.5 miliona paona a i 10 miliona paona. 'He ʻoihana ulu kēia, akā he ʻoihana ʻokoʻa hoʻi. ʻAʻole loaʻa kālā ka mahiʻai, no laila ʻo ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka waiwai a me ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā waiwai ma nā wahi āpau e hiki ai ke ala e hōʻoia ai i ka palekana o nā waiwai e hiki mai ana.
No ke kanaka ʻimi ʻai nui, ʻo Richard Prideaux, ua hele maoli mai kēia mai ka ʻoihana meaʻai hihiu āna i holo ai mai ka manor i ka wā ma mua, kahi i ulu mai kahi waiwai kūʻai e kūʻai ana i nā meaʻai no nā hale ʻaina kiʻekiʻe o Lākana a hiki i Wild Beauty. "ʻO ka mea mua a mākou e hana ai, ʻo ia ke heluhelu pono i nā moʻolelo noiʻi a ʻōlelo aku ʻo kēia ka ulu ʻana o ka waiwai e like me kā mākou e ʻike nei, a laila e nānā i hope e hoʻoholo inā aia nō ia, he aha ia i kēia manawa a he aha hou aʻe?"
ʻO ka maʻamau, ʻewalu mahina ka manawa alakaʻi no ka huahana, a no ka manawa o ke koho ʻana, ʻo ka hoʻolālā mua ka mea nui. Ua wehewehe ʻo Lord Newborough: "I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, ua paʻakikī i ka mea hana ke mālama i kahi noʻonoʻo maopopo i nā kau āpau." Ua nīnau ʻo ia, "Hiki iaʻu ke komo i ka gorse, hiki iaʻu ke heather? ʻĪ akula ʻo Richard, "ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke noho ma laila i nā manawa a pau."
"Ke hoʻolālā nei au i ke kalena no ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Pepeluali e hōʻoia i ka lawa ʻana o ka manawa e hōʻiliʻili ai i kēia mau mea hoʻohui," wahi a Prideaux. Loaʻa iā mākou kahi puke pai o ke aniau; makemake mākou e ʻike pehea e hoʻohālikelike ʻia ai me ka makahiki i hala.
ʻO ka liʻiliʻi o ka hana ʻo ia hoʻi, hoʻohana mau ʻo Prideaux i 8 mau hola i nā ʻano ʻino āpau, e ʻohi ana i nā mea āpau mai ka gorse a i ka nettle.
ʻOi aku ka nui o ke kuleana o Prideaux ma mua o ke ola, ʻo ka makahiki o kēia makahiki "He kaulana wau ... e ʻae mai iaʻu e puka i waho!" "ʻO ke alakaʻi ola a me ke kākāʻōlelo, ma muli o Covid (Covid), ua pani ka hui iā Australia me Abgeele Castle (Abgeele). Ua ʻimi ʻo ia i ka ʻai mai ka wā hānau mai.
"He poʻe mahiʻai koʻu mau mākua e hana ana ma kēia ʻāina. ʻAʻole lākou maopopo i nā mea kanu a pau ma ka pā lāʻau a i ʻole ke kula, ʻaʻole hoʻi lākou i ʻike i kona hoʻohana a me kona ʻono.

I ke kakahiaka nei, ua hele ʻo ia i waho no ka ʻauʻau ʻana me kona mau kuli i loko o ka muliwai, e ʻohi ana i nā pī mai ka mauʻu, he ʻano mea kanu ia e ulu maikaʻi ana ma ka lihi o ka mauʻu wai kahiko. "ʻO kā mākou pahuhopu ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i hoʻokahi a ʻelua kilokani o nā huahana maloʻo - [ʻo kēia mau mea kanu] me he mea lā he 85% a 98% ka wai. ʻO kaʻu ʻano ʻai ʻana, ʻo ia ka hoʻolilo ʻana i hoʻokahi lā e hele wāwae ana i uka, akā ua ʻike pū mākou i ka mālama ʻana i nā mea kanu. Nā hana hiki ke hana ʻia i ka manawa like me ka heluna kanaka. Aia nā lula a me nā kaʻina hana koʻikoʻi no ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana: pono e waiho ʻia nā mea āpau i ka hui lepo.
ʻO Meadowsweet ke kumu nui o ka waikawa salicylic (kahi mea hoʻohui i hoʻohana ʻia i ka aspirin) a me kahi astringent, i hōʻike ʻia i loko o nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe, nā serum a me nā kirīmi maka o Wild Beauty. "Ua ʻike wau i kona hopena lāʻau lapaʻau a me ka analgesic, akā ʻo kona hoʻohana ʻana i ka mālama ʻili he mea hōʻike iaʻu." Wahi a Prideaux, me ka hāʻawi ʻana mai iaʻu i kahi lau e kuʻi ai. Hoʻopuka ia i kahi ʻono marshmallow/kukama ʻono. ʻĪ maila ʻo ia: "Ke maloʻo kēia wai i loko o ko mākou keʻena, ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻala maikaʻi loa." "Pono mākou e paionia nui. He mea maʻalahi ke ʻōlelo "E hele e ʻohi i ka nettle", akā ʻo ka hoʻoholo ʻana pehea e mālama ai a me ka nui o ka mea e pono ai. Ua hālāwai ʻo ia me kekahi mau manawa weliweli ma ke ala.
ʻO kēlā me kēia lauoho ma lalo o ka lau nettle ua like ia me kahi injection hypodermic i hoʻopiha mua ʻia me ka waikawa formic, he mea ʻawaʻawa loa ia. I ka wā i maloʻo ai, ʻaʻole lawa ia e mae ai kēlā mau lauoho, no laila i ko mākou hoʻāʻo mua ʻana, ua wehe au i ka puka o ka dehydrator a hanu i ke ao o kēia mau lauoho. Ua hou ʻia au e ka trachea a me ka māmā. I ka manawa aʻe e ʻaʻahu ai au i kahi pale maka, nā mīkina lima a me nā goggles. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Lord Newborough ma ka manor. ʻO kona wā kamaliʻi ka lawaiʻa ʻana ma kēia mau muliwai a me ka holo lio me kona mau kaikuahine ʻelua. He leo idyllic ia, akā ua hōʻoia ʻo ia iā ia iho mai kona wā kamaliʻi.
“He ʻino loa koʻu makuakāne iā mākou. ʻAʻole lawa kaʻu mau manaʻolana nona,” wahi āna iaʻu. “I koʻu wā ʻekolu makahiki, ua hoe ʻia au i waenakonu o ke Kai ʻo Menai me ka ʻole o ka hoe ʻana, a ua ʻōlelo ʻia mai iaʻu e hoʻi mai me kaʻu hana ponoʻī—ʻo ia hoʻi ka wehe ʻana i ka lalo o ka waʻa. Hoʻohana ʻia ka papahele e like me ka hoe.”
Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia he mahiʻai mai kona wā ʻōpiopio e like me kona makuakāne. "Pono mākou a pau e hana ma ka mahiʻai. Ua hoʻokele au i kahi tractor i koʻu mau makahiki he ʻumi." Akā, e like me kāna i ʻae ai, ʻaʻole ʻo kāna mau haʻawina "ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma ka honua." Ma hope o ka kipaku ʻia ʻana mai kahi kula hoʻomākaukau no ka hakakā, ka hahau pinepine ʻana a me ka holo ʻana, ua aʻo ʻo ia ma ke Kulanui Mahiʻai a ua hoʻouna ʻia i Australia.
Ua hāʻawi mai koʻu makuakāne iaʻu i kahi tikiki hoʻokahi ala, ua ʻōlelo mai iaʻu ʻaʻole e hōʻike hou aku no 12 mau mahina, a laila hele e kūʻai i kaʻu tikiki ponoʻī. Ma hope o kona hoʻi ʻana i ka home, ua hoʻokele ʻo ia i kahi ʻoihana hoʻolimalima mokulele a me kahi papa hana uila, a laila nānā i kahi hoʻolālā palekana lawaiʻa ma Sierra Leone, kahi i ola ai ʻo ia i ʻekolu mau hoʻokahuli aupuni. "Ua puka mai au i waho i ka wā e ʻā ana ka pū, ʻaʻole ia he wahi maikaʻi. I kēlā manawa, ua ʻelemakule koʻu makuakāne a ua manaʻo wau e pono iaʻu e hoʻi i ka home a kōkua."
ʻOiai ua ʻai ʻo ia i ka meaʻai organik no nā makahiki he nui, ʻaʻole a hiki i kona hoʻoilina ʻana i ka ʻāina i hoʻoholo ai ʻo Lord Newborough e kūkulu hou iā ia. "Ua hui pū ʻia mākou me ke organik no ka manawa mua. ʻO kaʻu wahine ʻo Su (ua mare lāua no 32 mau makahiki, a he kaikamahine kā kēlā me kēia mai ka male mua) ua paipai mau iaʻu e hele i kēia ala, a mai ia manawa mai, ua lilo ka mahiʻai i mea leʻaleʻa.
Akā i ka wā mua, he paio paʻakikī ia. Ua hana nā hui mahiʻai he nui (me ke kahu hipa a me ke luna hoʻokele pāʻani nui) no kona makuakāne no nā makahiki he 30 a ʻoi a ua hoʻokumu i nā manaʻo hohonu. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lord Newborough: "Ua manaʻo lākou ua pupule loa wau, akā ua lawe mākou iā lākou e ʻike iā Highgrove, kahi i loaʻa ai kahi luna mahiʻai hoʻoikaika. Ke ʻike maoli mākou iā ia e hana ana ma laila, he mea kūpono ia. ʻAʻole mākou e nānā hou i hope."
ʻO ke Keiki Aliʻi o Wales kekahi mea nui i ka huakaʻi organik a Rhug. "Ua hele mai ʻo ia ma ʻaneʻi e kipa i ka mahiʻai. ʻO kona ʻike i ka mahiʻai organik, ka hopohopo no ke kaiapuni, ka inoa hoʻomau a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo loa he ʻāpana ia o ko mākou hoʻoikaika ʻana. E hoʻomaopopo ʻo ia. Ma ke ʻano he pā lāʻau āna i akamai loa ai, hiki i ke keiki aliʻi ke hoʻoili i ka ʻike lima mua.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lord Newborough: "ʻO koʻu makuakāne ke huki i ka pā a hoʻokuʻu i lalo - ua hana mākou i ka mea ʻē aʻe."
ʻO kekahi kumu aʻoaʻo a me hoaaloha ʻo Carole Bamford, nāna i hoʻokumu i ka hale kūʻai mahiʻai organik ʻo Daylesford, a hoʻokumu iā Bamford, he ʻano hana i hoʻohui ʻia i nā lole a me nā huahana nani. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lord Newborough: "No ka mahiʻai organik, ʻoi aku ka nui o kā mākou unahi ma mua o Carole, akā ua mahalo mau wau i nā mea āpau āna e hana ai. Mahalo wau i nā manaʻo ma hope o kāna ʻōpala a me kona kaulana hoʻomau. A ke hoʻolimalima nei au i kahi mea hana i nā huahana mālama ʻili Bamford ma ke ʻano he kākāʻōlelo naʻu.
Ua hoʻopanee mua ʻo Covid i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o Wild Beauty mai ka pūnāwai. Ua hoʻopilikia maopopo kēia maʻi ahulau i nā waiwai paʻa, me nā ʻoihana kūʻai liʻiliʻi i hoʻopilikia nui ʻia. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia me ke kaumaha: "ʻO ka Easter ka manawa paʻahana loa iā mākou. Kū mākou ma ka puka a kali i ke kaʻa e hala." Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻoiai ke kokoke mai nei ka manaʻolana o Brexit, pono mākou i kēlā me kēia ala kūʻai aku e hiki ke hakakā. E ʻike iā mākou i ka wā. "Akā, ʻaʻole mākou e hilinaʻi iā ʻEulopa (20% o ka ʻiʻo e lawe ʻia aku i nā ʻāina ʻē - Hong Kong, Singapore a me Macau, Dubai, Abu Dhabi a me Qatar), no laila he ʻupena palekana kēia. Manaʻo wau he mea nui ka palekana o ka hiki ke lawe aku i kēia mau mākeke waiwai i ka wā e hiki mai ana."
No Covid, ʻaʻohe ona hopohopo e pili ana i kona olakino: "Ala au i kēlā me kēia kakahiaka e hoʻoikaika kino, a inā make au, make wau." ʻO ka mea āna e hopohopo nui ai, ʻo ia nā holoholona mahiʻai. "Pono e hānai ʻia nā holoholona, ​​a ke hopohopo nei mākou no ka hopena o ka maʻi Covid i waena o nā limahana mahiʻai." ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻaʻole kēia he mea e pono ai lākou e hana.
ʻAʻole ʻo ia i māʻona i ke kū mālie. ʻO kāna hana paʻa (ka hoʻoilina o kona wā kamaliʻi paʻakikī) ʻo ia hoʻi ke ala ʻo ia i kēlā me kēia lā a noʻonoʻo i ka mea e hana ai ma hope? No laila ma hea e hele ai ka hoʻoilina? "He mea nui loa ka hoʻomau ʻana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka laina huahana Wild Beauty - ke aʻo nei mākou i ka shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen - akā makemake pū wau e kūkulu i kahi hōʻailona honua, a ke kamaʻilio nei mākou me nā mea hoʻolaha ma Iapana, ka Hikina Mamao a me ka Hikina Waena." Inā ʻike ka makuakāne Ke hana nei ʻoe i nā huahana mālama ʻili organik, pehea kou manaʻo? Ua minoʻaka ʻo ia me ka hoʻomaloka.

Eia kekahi, ke hoʻolālā nei ʻo ia e kūkulu hou i kāna ʻohana bison aloha. Ma hope o ka make ʻana o ke kuni catarrhal ʻino, ua hāʻule ka helu o nā ʻohana bison mai 70 a i 20. "He mea minamina ke ʻike a ʻike ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kekahi mea e hoʻōki ai." Eia naʻe, ʻoiai ua hana pū ʻo Lord Newborough me ke Kulanui o Liverpool e hoʻomohala i kahi lāʻau pale e hoʻāʻo ʻia ma ka bison Rhug, aia nō ka manaʻolana.
