The Self sufficientish bible - Promotional stuff.
Right had some more confirmations of what we will be doing.
Oxford literary festival - (164)Sunday 6th April, 4pm, Town Hall, St aldates. A bit of a Q and A affair. Will no doubt be down one of the pubs after perhaps the turf tavern, lamb and flag or the eagle and child.
Swindon Literary festival - Eco Ideas & Practices Day
Sunday 11 May 10am – 4pm • £10 (includes light lunch).
Then the Times 29th March - body and soul section, interview with eco warrior.
The Scotsman - should be on week of publication (ie March 31st - 6th April). Perhaps an interview but defo a feature.
The independent - not sure but should be doing something.
You magazine - review.
Country file - 4 page feature next month
Country life - something not sure what.
Environment uk - Again don't know what.
Will keep you up to date as stuff comes in.

You coming up to Scotland for that?Andy Hamilton wrote: The Scotsman - should be on week of publication (ie March 31st - 6th April). Perhaps an interview but defo a feature.
You should be in the Herald - much "greener" than the Scotsman... Anyway, they are running a "local food" campaign at the moment.

Nah the Scotsman went pear shaped when it downsized from a broadsheet and moved their HQ out of the historic building on the Bridges. Should have gone the whole hog and made the front page banner red instead of blueCassiepod wrote:I wondered why I preferred the herald I though it was just the Glasgow connection....
Well done Andy & Dave - busy boys!

They're not weeds - that's a habitat for wildlife, don't you know?

I'm seriously thinking about it. I'm just really busy in May and, if I'm not careful, I won't get anything done in the garden. But I really would like to come.Andy Hamilton wrote:Me and Davehamster wrote:The bf and I are going to the Swindon Eco day thingy on May 11th. Anyone else going to be there?

Reely enjoyed the party at Lower Shaw Farm chaps - so great to get to meet a few of the other bods. And Nev & Linda - I had no idea he was in the UK (shows how time-strapped I am these days!) so that was a fantastic surprise. Booze, good chat and Joachim's take on Tommy Cooper to boot... thanks a lot and hopefully there'll be another chance to meet up some time soon!
