  • Superlambanana: On Tour

    John has been following the trail of the superlambanana’s around his delightful city, well now one is set for the dizzy heights of Moel Famau – according to yesterday’s Daily Post.  The links between North Wales and the Superlambanana’s are growing, three have seemingly escaped and been seen at the Llangollen festival amongst other places. …

  • experiment without plastic

    Chris Jeavans is trying the nigh on impossible – to live for a month without any ‘new’ plastic. I  must admit it’s had me in a bit of a tangle.  On the one hand it is quite a high minded ethical peak oil aware kind of thing to do – on the other, it seems…

  • A week in the wild west

    Last week really was a wild week, first night in the tent there was a thunder storm I can’t remember a better one! Despite the weather being damp and a bit wild we did explore places once visited regularly – especially ‘Pete’s Eats’, the best cafe in North Wales, the occasionally open bakery in Llanrug…

  • The Wrong Sandals

    It is an unfortunate day when you rush out to the morning services on your trusty steed with inappropriate footware – in my case the wrong sandals.  I was wearing the old, brown, garden, lazy sunday afternoon sandals with little in the way of sole and relatively no connection to the feet! This would have…

  • Slow Sunday

    Today is slow Sunday, a Resurgence phenomenon. Happily (for those able to go) it coincides with the Resurgence readers weekend – funny that! I’m not one of the lucky ones, instead we are preparing slow food and gearing up to run away to the wilds of the north west (wales.) The literary companion of the…

  • Supper

    In the spirit of freedom food, HFW’s assertion that we should be willing to go through the whole process from beginning to end if we want to eat meat, and the large proportion of animals who die needlessly… … We decided to try a local and very populous animal – the poor roadkill bunny.  It…

  • An odd arrival

    This came in the post this morning. John, if you are reading this, I have your transistor radio spares box.  Sorry but your transistor radio spares must be either all gone or in another box as I have this box and it didn’t contain what it was supposed to.  Actually I was glad it didn’t…

  • How not to beat the rising fuel costs…

    First, ensure your mobile phone is low or empty of cash. Second, travel to a random destination – for instance – to collect the church fairtrade stall goods. Third,  return home by a little known, obscure route, known only to yourself, especially on roads not marked on any map that is not designed for anyone…

  • A weekend of food

    Well it seemed like it anyway! Ironic that we have to travel about 30mins away to go to the farmers market to get meat and eggs which are grown just up the road!! It was worth it though, buffalo sausages, buffalo topside, veg and organic eggs. We got some lovely fresh broad beans, not a…

  • Catalyst

    I will be walking everywhere for a few weeks to make up for the carbon cost of my flying visit to the Catalyst event at Carmarthen at the weekend.  I had been invited to lead a workshop on Iona Worship, which turned into (thankfully) a worship session.  Helped by Craig, Meredith and Louise, the session…
