Hi all,

I am going to see a band called Breabach tonight at Cecil Sharp House in Camden. |They are a fantastic Scottish folk band and as it was St Andrews Day recently it is sure to be a lot of fun.  A few people have dropped out so there are 4 FREE tickets going if anyone would like to come.  See the event details at…

I was out on Hampstead Heath yesterday for work (honest). I decided to walk back towards Swiss Cottage for my weekly swim when something made me stop in my tracks. I don't think I've ever seen a kiwi vine in flower in real life, and certainly wasn't expecting to see one in London.

But this vine was so healthy looking and laden that it hung right over the pavement, which why I noticed them. See the photo's below.…

I take it that the pictures on the home page were from the event that took place last night? I really wanted to go along to this but I was too ill. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone needed any ongoing assistance with gardening on the weekends, either in allotments, at home or whatever? Please contact me via the site.

Thanks,

Damian

Hello - just wondered if anyone has any tips on where might be good to go sloe picking around North London? Thanks for your help! 

This was a great event, which I wrote up for Queen's Park Books website

Please read about it and Resurgence magazine there.

Lots of us were there from the group - we should have been wearing the t-shirts though!  The shop was packed, which shows what interest there is locally in activities such as ours, but quite a few members of the audience hadn't heard of us. …

I have several bags of chopped up wood from felled trees and an old shed roof which would be suitable for burning in a wood stove or making a log pile. They are in my front garden, bagged and ready for taking away. Just let me know if you would like them.  Marjory

unbelievable! but they did.......  http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/05/08/what-biotech-company-blamed-for-bee-collapse-just-bought-leading-bee-research-firm.aspx

This project was born out of my experiences of having my first child, and how much it made me question myself and everything i thought was normal.



I couldn't help but be drawn to reading books looking at parenting practices, and deciphering them was hard. I started to realise that we (mothers and fathers) don't trust ourselves anymore to do the…

Hi,

I am looking to rent out my studio space on Loveridge Road, NW6 for at least 2 months, maybe more..

There is 1200 sq ft of high natural lit studio space shared between 3 other wonderful artists (one of whom is only part-time). There is one space available to be used 24/7 if needed. There is a small kitchen and sitting area with mini library! 

Please get in touch to arrange a viewing. It is available from 20th March.

£300 pounds…

Unfortunately the classes are no longer available at Kilburn (or Kensal as it is closed) although they did run quite successfully for 2 years or so.

I no longer work there but I did approach the library to see if I could continue with the class anyway,sadly they have turned me down because of the impending refurbishment....in May apparently.

However, I would still be glad to run the class somewhere...any suggestions for locations and times?

I do have time on my…

We have a couple of bags of strong smelling lawn fertiliser to give away at the South Kilburn allotment that was left over from 10 years ago. If interested please email michael dot stuart6 at gmail.com or turn up Wednesday between 2.30 and 4.30

I have just renewed my fence.  The old one is sitting in my front garden and is there for anyone who needs a supply of timber for raised beds etc. Some of it has rotted but much is still useful.  If you'd like it please just come and take it from my garden at 35 Fleetwood Road NW10

Hi my name is Mike.

I am starting a project photographing bee keepers and bees themselves.

The project is about the mutual respect between the keeper and the bee, showing the beauty of the collection of honey and the care you put in collecting it. 

This is partly an issue-based project, due to the worldwide problems Apiarist are facing with the loss of Honey Bee Colonies, mainly associated with environment and climate factors, leading to the colony collapse disorder…

Careen, Chris, Viv and I headed down to City Hall on 1st December for the London Transition Groups Gathering.  Short presentations on London Low Carbon Communities - which I think we should join - RE:NEW (which aims to make homes more energy efficient) and by a couple…

Food group meeting

20^th October 2011

Present: Marjory, Michael (part), Miko, Sanchia

While eating some very nice food….

Queens Park day apple pressing

Agreed we need more ‘talkers’ explaining what it’s about (and this applies to Transition events generally). Other suggestions are to have a map of local fruit trees; have a banner / sign / poster explaining harvesting; having more leaflets out…
