I was spiraling out of control

I don't have many memories from my childhood, but the memories I do have relate to food - picnics with bacon and egg pie, my mother’s home cooking, Sunday bread. I was never much of a sweet tooth, but instead I preferred savouries, pastries, breads and the like. I grew up on a farm and food was plentiful and was never restricted and I lived a pretty healthy, active lifestyle.
Once I hit my teenage years, however, I remember starting to get worried about my weight. (I'll just mention here that I don't think I have ever been overweight and I certainly wasn't overweight as a teenager). I'm not sure how this all came about, but it was around the time I started getting interested in boys and my body was changing. I would stare at myself in the mirror and think I was fat.
I'm looking to for a couple of small tables suitable for an outside function.
Many thanks,
Sam

We would love to be in a nice rural area with a big paddock we can spend our days in, digging around and eating some nice food and treats. Unfortunately we are unable to live in urban areas. We need to go out in pairs, or together as a group of 4. We would also be okay going to our new homes where there may be an existing pig family we can join in on. If you have room in your farm family for us, please enquire with the Wellington SPCA team."

“The Four Seasons is something we all carry around with us,” says Richter, “It’s just everywhere. This project is about reclaiming this music for me personally, by getting inside it and rediscovering it – and taking a new path through a well-known landscape.”
