While I gather my thoughts and heart after 'the weekend' I thought I would share with you a sneak peek at a little film I am doing with Steve and Jason from, yep you guessed it, No. 5 and with Liz, our gorgeous and local ABC Open Producer. The film will hopefully be for two things, ABC Open and as an entry to the Local Food Film Festival. It is about Pat, the beautiful potato farmer who supplies No. 5 with the potatoes that allow them to make the best chips ever, seriously. She is in her seventies, is super strong, incredibly cheeky and wonderfully wise. Here are some photos from our day at her farm.
Beautiful photos. I love that tea cosy. Pat sounds like an amazing woman.
ReplyDeletethanks Imogen, i know that tea cosy had me, oh and Jason, we were drawn to it and mesmerised. Pat is amazing, such a beautiful, gentle and entertaining approach to the world, to farming, to life. Hopefully that will all come across in the film. best wishes jay
DeleteAll these pictures make me think about growing potatoes and moving back to the country where salt-of-the-earth people like Pat reside.
ReplyDeletehi katie, pat is pure gold, seeing her spreading her wisdom, smile and manner about town is such a treat. One of the most precious things she said (despite her countless jokes) was that she believes she is 'put onto this earth to help people' and she does in the purest most open way. the country is beckoning.
DeleteHi Jay, what a great project! Both for you and for all who get to learn more about Pat and her wonderful approach to living. Take good care at the moment. I feel for you as you find the place within to be with your precious family and at the same time feel the love and 'missing' of old friends who are not just up the road to pop in and have a cuppa with. Rest well xx
