Info on the Coop website cheese what is it? Traditionally, rennet used for cheese-making is taken from calves' stomachs. Rennet contains an enzyme - chymosin - which separates milk into curds and whey, and the curds are used to make…

Forest Row woman urges volunteers to get stuck in to community garden project

Posted on February 10, 2012 at 12:43pm 0 Comments

Mieke Vierling has spent the last two years restoring her 19th-century home, a former doctors' surgery in Lewes Road.

She is turning it into an "educational centre" where she will carry out yoga and acupuncture.

But outside she is creating a space for residents to "take responsibility for their own healing", with a garden full of medicinal plants and herbs.

The edible hedgerow has been planted alongside a public path, made up of trees including…

Navigating Change

Posted on November 21, 2011 at 9:30pm 0 Comments

While change is constant, we are not always clear about how change happens in society and what we can do to bring about the change we want. So where do we start? One way is by adopting new ways of doing things ourselves, "being the change we want to see in the world". So how about '…

In terms of cultivation, my allotment isn't that great, but it doesn't have sea lavender growing in it ;)

Sorry I didn't get to the meeting on Tuesday; I was in Leiden. How did it go?

All a fraction confusing Mike for the information technology challenged like me but...mmmm...I'll get used to it? Yes, I LOVE your new photo! Wish I knew how to get one of my younger pics like that on the site too! Annette

Hi Mike
No honey yet I'm afraid - the weather hasn't been very kind to the bees so far, except for the warm days last week. I think beekeepers are very concerned to ensure that colonies are really strong, and I for one am rather loath to undertake anything other than a very rudimentary inspection. But Mother Nature's bounty will surely manifest once again at some point (probably after everyone has just got over their hayfever) anyway, I'll let you know.
(Love the photo)

Oil prices rose dramatically today reaching $133.89 at the time of writing. Plus Radio4 news said there could be a 5p rise at the pump by the weekend. What is the point at which we cross the Rubicon and we really take Transition seriously?

Hi Mike,
Just looking around in my clumsy way for where on this website to post up our conclusions at the Transition Group Culture Workshop 24/5. Can you guide me to the spot please.

Kira who works up at Emerson was thrilled by the fruit activity on Sunday - she told me it all got done - 15 of you and 1 from Em - what a fantastic project alongside the sewing of bags (this Sat at the Community Centre market- all welcome, even if like me you can't sew! - last month we had such a laugh) Transition projects are actually happening - what happens next? will the fruit be turned into something delicious? and by whom? and it may be time to give the bags away for free in the village -
