The Self Sufficiency course has been canceled as the leader has let them down yet again. They may have a new leader for the Spring

Hmmm, now that sounds like a plan. Fancy sharing a tutoring post? The only thing we can't do between us is bee-keeping. But we could offer a cooking-what-you-grow module instead.

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.

Bill Turnball of Breakfast TV fame is a keen Beekeeper but I would of thought there was someoner less famous and closer.
Has anyone seen the plot, I seem to have lost mine?

Re: Self sufficiency courses at New College Swindon
Thanks BB, tv references are normally wasted on me .
I spoke to the college today, and they are happy for me to only cover the subjects that I am comfortable in.

Does Shaw Farm know of any Beekeepers that might help you out if you needed one. Good luck with the course.
