Thanks for the encouragement guys!

The weather has been good but last year it turned on cold, wind and rain on the day! At least this year we have much better promotion so hopefully more people will show than the dozen or so we got last year.

There were pics in the paper but they didn't come through on the web. I have done a couple of interviews so we should get spots in most of the local papers.

What sort of followup were you thinking of Jandra?

That's hopefully 72 new converts to a more sustainable life style. I bet you're knackered! Enjoy your well deserved rest.

That's great to hear, Nev - you didn't get much interest last year I seem to recall. The local paper articles have obviously helped a lot!

You're right M3

Last year we got about a dozen people, all in the last half hour of the day! I walked and talked for the full 6 hours this year and was absolutely stuffed today, it was great!

A very satisfying dayall up and the articles in the paper made a huge difference!
