Hi,

Having evactuated from the big smoke to North Nottinghamshire about a year ago I've realised both myself and my wife haven't gotten to know the neighbours or the community anywhere near as well as we'd like.  Part of the reason for moving out to the countryside was to seek a greater sense of community and get closer to the land and to nature.

Permaculture on a budget

For many years I thought Permaculture was one of those things that desk and chair gardeners raved about. The Permaculture display gardens at various festivals would often be pretty, but failed to impress me as to their capacity to feed people.

Transition is Dramatic!

What is the drama of transition?

It is ACTING to turn our planetary tragedy around and creating a new world comedy of local thriving all over the world, the great act of our time.  It is reversing the 20th century tragedy of mutually assured destruction of all kinds into a 21st century comedy of Mutually Assured Vitality For All Living Kind.
