Just a quick post to say I’ve not given up, I’ll be back on the case again soon. Can’t believe it’s been two months since I last wrote anything. Tut! Naughty me.

There has been a reason for this period of silence though, or rather several reasons. The first of these is that most of my time spent at the computer these last couple of months has been devoted to the creation of the website for The Loop Project, which is an exciting new venture of Andy and myself into the unknown and the start of our transition to a low carbon future. Read the launch here.

Basically what we’ll be doing is a bit of what we used to do – web and graphic design (strictly for TLP approved customers) to keep ourselves afloat while we learn and pass on skills which will be important in a world which can no longer rely on cheap energy.

Expect to see a mix of exciting design for like minded groups like this and reports of our adventures in learning and teaching like this, as well as a few of our own “Public Information Campaigns” like this, How to Bake bread, the first of a series of retro style posters designed to promote key skills for resilience.

Anyway, that’s enough of a plug for The Loop Project (if you do want any work doing please do get in touch;-)), back to Egg But.

So what can you expect from your favourite vegetarian food blog in the next couple of weeks, what else has been going on?

Well after a near move to a small town half way between Leeds and Manchester Andy and I realised we weren’t quite ready to settle down and set off with our rucksacks again trailing around various farms WWOOFing, including a lovely place not far from Warrington, Ratcliffe Farm, there’ll be a somewhat surprising for some report about what we got up to there.

We went to Wales, got into Cider with Bill Bleasdale who introduced us to the lovely town of Llanidloes which is to become our new home! While we were there we went to a party at this place, a housing co-operative where we found out a flat was coming up for rent. With shared access to 14 acres of land including a 9 acre wood (providing all our firewood for heating) and space in allotment to get growing, we snapped it up! We’ll be there within a week and can’t wait! So Egg But will soon be more settled, but informative, hopefully you’ll come with us on our journey as we develop our veg patch, start keeping chickens and get into life in Mid-Wales. Hurrah! See you soon.
