Do we just make monuments? or do we learn the lessons? Baglady at the Women of World War II monument in central London.
Shirley the Baglady went to Newry to meet the locals. The floods were full on, so there weren’t too many locals around, but we sure met them. And Mearns Pollock has a message for all of us, about Irish rain… Here’s the story.

G’day from me Baglady.
The woman in this film is Australian permaculturist Rosemary Morrow, a dear friend
from the Blue Mountains in Australia. Here she takes us to Afghanistan in a way that no ordinary media reporter can do.
Rosemary Morrow travelled to Afghanistan to see if the country was ready yet to begin resurrecting itself out of the ashes, through the sustainable methods of Permaculture.
She spent two months in Kabul, working with widows and orphans, and giving workshops to influential Afghanis in government departments and the Kabul university.
Rosemary, with filmmaker Gary Caganoff, witnessed the horrific social aftermath of 25 years of war. 75% of Kabul had been turned to rubble, tens of thousands of people were homeless. Water and electricity were scarce. Food was available but for those with little or no money it came through begging. And it is getting worse.
This short video, from Gary’s forthcoming documentary, is of Rosemary taking a walk through a typical Kabul street, looking for opportunities for growing food. With the country still politically and socially unstable there is little chance of any such food projects being established.
