I really liked Peter's idea that we should record the various ways in which we are dealing with the unpredictabilities of climate change. So diferent planting dates, protection, varieties. Yes, we really ought to do this, Peter. How?

I make a point of never working on a Sunday, but I went to a Food Frome web-site training course at Tadhill last Sunday and it was great. Very enjoyable and really instant results - see this web-site if you don't believe me. I'm a convicted technophobe, so it was just amazing to find that the magic isn't really magic at all but just common sense and a bit of care and attention.

Between times, we talked trees, goats, quinces, Sustainable Frome, Slower Frome and other such important topics.
