again, Martin, your pictures are beautiful. Can i snag one for my desktop here at work?

Sorry i missed you, i was probably walking straight past you at the Chai chapel on Sunday!

Dammit, have we got a 'what we look like' section yet? We co0uld do with one for next year!

Didn't want to come back to work this morning, didn't want to leave yesterday!!

Roll on next year - i'm going to NGG next year too (providing its on that is...).

[Martin]

help yourself!
If you spotted someone with a silly moustache and a garish sarong, it was probably me!

[Shirley]

you are not Dick Strawbridge are you??

Fee is right - a 'what do you look like' section would be a good idea.

Glad you had a good time Martin... great pics...

his dad possibly!
I've heard several people use the words "life changing" about the BGG - it is!
You can know so many things on an intellectual level, but until you experience it for yourself, it doesn't really sink in.
I saw a vision of a FAR better world - we boogied, we learnt, we laughed, we lived, all in an incredibly eco-friendly way............ 8)
After the Glastonbury Festival, the ground is covered with detritus that takes days to clear up - at the ~BGG, I looked on the last night - there were perhaps 4 or 5 tissues on the whole field.........instead of fume-belching yammering diesel generators there were arrays of pv panels and wind turbines everywhere - and horsewagons and bikes doing the heavy work - it shows that it is possible to live, not just as well as "normal life", but BETTER!

ps, when I say "life changing", I mean it! - my partner in crime in Solarwind came along with his lady too - he's already negotiating for 5 acres of land with coppice woodland..........................

i agree, it was life changing. i'm on the lookout for a new job now. I need somethng that gives me more 'me' time.

I'm also thinking about the logistics of renting out a tipi to people. I saw one that i wanted to buy, but i'm wondering about whether people would pay to hire it, and how much and stuff. I fell in love with tipis!!

I have to say that BGG has definitely left me thinking about the impact i personally have on everyone and everything around me.

Oh yeah...and it introduced me to butt bins!! I even went out to cheddar and found a proper metal one..

[Shirley]

butt bins??? for cigarettes???

Oh and thanks to you fee for introducing kilnaboy to my speakers :))))
