http://www.timnobleandsuewebster.com/pr ... [quote]Sue Webster: The Folly Acres Cook Book
Published by Other Criteria, 2014
Publication: 20 November 2014

The Folly Acres Cook Book combines recipes from the kitchen of the Gloucestershire smallholding shared by Tim and Sue, along with drawings, photographs, thoughts, anecdotes and personal memories.

Originally cooked for family and friends including the chef Mark Hix, and the singer songwriter PJ Harvey, the recipes form an illustrated diary of Webster's life between the years of 2010 and 2014. Testament to her irreverent humour, Webster includes both classic and experimental dishes, alongside creative instructions for life in the country.

Introduced with an original poem by PJ Harvey that was inspired by her visit to Folly Acres, the Cook Book is hand-typed on a 1940s Olympia Robust typewriter originally developed for use by the German militia during World War II. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs and illustrations by both Tim and Sue.[/quote]

"05.12.2014 - Last night I heard PJ Harvey read poetry for my friend Sue Webster, I will try to find a picture" - so maybe there's gonna be another picture.

WOW!

I'd like to hear the whole thing - I love this almost sarcastic tone. Damn Instagram with its short videos / teasers!

She's everywhere lately! <3

FOLLY ACRES
by PJ Harvey

Alone, bereft of love or good
I stumbled through a brain of woods
until I found a wooden shack
wasps at the front, bees at the back

A girl appeared with jet black hair,
Her cats patrolled. One humped a chair.
She gave me soup, she gave me bread,
she took me to "The Evil Shed"

where tiny bodies hung on nails
and proudly wore their own entrails.
Beside a meadow's insect hum
all life, all death rolled into one.

The wraith-like girl pulled chives and beets
and gathered eggs to make a feast
and goodness filled me as I ate.
She brought me love upon a plate.

P.S.: "and goodness filled me as I ate" - maybe she should eat more? )))

adorable poem, I love it!
