Portrait de Jake Williams, qui vit seul au beau milieu d’une vaste forêt en Ecosse. Il a de multiples activités et ne jette pas grande chose. Mandoliniste accompli, son compost est d’un âge respectable. Sa sensation du temps est étrangère à celle de la plupart de ses contemporains.

A portrait of Jake Williams –who lives alone within miles of forest in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Jake always has many jobs on at any one time, rarely throws anything away, is an expert mandolin player, and has compost heaps going back many years. He has a different sense of time to most people in the 21st century, which is explicitly expressed in his idea for creating hedges by putting up bird feeders.
