Dear All
Thanks to everyone who came to the seasonal food events under the title 'Berries n Beans' last week. Especially to Claire Milne and all at Bristol Food Hub, Ami at Easton Community Centre for use of space, Zoe from Transition Easton for lots, Beth from the corner garden at ECC, Wendy for her film, Claire & Mark for 'That'll learn You Night', Kean Lamb for a very enjoyable Wild Food Walk, Easton Community Allotment for allowing us to crash their volunteer day and Transition Easton for bean planting and pot making workshop.
