networking

when i’m not actually at the land moving furniture around and slowly progressing in various eco-projects  i like to think i’m being useful by networking. this summer i’ve met the wonderful people from the nowhere festival who will hopefully be coming over to Boodaville and use the space to work on art projects in preparation for next years event.  They told me about about some exciting sounding local organic farms…  more

They are helping women in Uganda reach UK  markets with beautiful clothes and toys they make, and directly supporting children who are denied their basic human rights because of poverty and AIDS  in their communities. Do i sound like i’m asking for donations?  If not for the African babies, then do it to sponsor Kerry :

After four hours in the peeing rain on day 2, I wasn’t even going to contemplate getting back on the bike again after lunch

next year we might have a go at Boodaville to Barcelona…..
