It's that time of year again, the Alpaca's have gone from "Polar Bear"
to "Pipe Cleaner" animals and I have a shed full of fleece if you want
some for craft projects let me know and I'll put some aside.

We offer a choice of colour including white brown and black.

First come first served, but I doubt we'll run out any time soon!

Hi Phill,

Nice to hear from you and I'm hoping (but not overly confident) to make it to your bbq.

I let a friend of mine know about your pacca wool and she is very interested to have some. Turns out she may have known you at BT!! 
(She left to do an MSc in Sustainability, and we met through Transition Town Farnham.) 

Anyway, I hope that is ok -- I am sure she would give it a good home. I've copied her on this mail and you can sort things out between you. AND I REMEMBERED TO ADD THE CC before hitting 'send' this time :)


Hoping to make your bbq but my dad has not been very well so I rather think I shall be travelling to the opposite end of the country instead :)

Best,
Finn

Hi Phill,
I would love a little bit of fleece if you've got any left. Planning
for winter crocheting...

Hello all,

i am not on facebook or anything and sometimes i have the feeling i am missing some of the action. nevertheless i want to propose for a meeting. the last time we met i understood it would be a good idea to have a website for our guild. it would be handy to collect information for all to use. as i am from belgium it is not straitforward for me to come over, so pinning a date will be the most difficult part of my mission.
for my diploma i am doing a design on a integral learning method that we started with : DIY permaculture. the concept is this : a group of people (not permaculture related) gather every two weeks and dig into permaculture to present their outcome to the other members of the group. the group teaches itself. there is one fascilitator : me. some of the subjects are fixed and mostly garden related : soil, water, regeneration, compost, raised beds, compagnion planting and so on but anyone can propose on a subject. afer the 'course' that takes about 10 to 12 lessons (1 each two weeks) the group will keep on learning together and i hope it will become a guild. in september the first group will start. it is important for me to be able to have some feedback on this. so if it is ok for the guild i would like to do both presentations on the same day.

0900 - 1230  website
1230 -1330 dinner
1330 - 1700  DIY permaculture

i dont know if this is ok for the group and if so how do i pin a date and where will the meeting take place ?

warm greetings

Bert Crabbé

If you want to learn about something, teach it.
