T'was a gorgeous mid winter day at CERES today, (for those who don't know it's the local centre for energy research and environmental studies) having lunch with some people. I learned it's possible to get sun-burnt even in the winter. My friend was clever enough to remember the sunscreen but not I. Was reminded that I must post another blog on to my bloomingandbold blogspot, as it's been a while!
Learning welsh, work, plus house maintenance (an 80 year old house does keep you occupied keeping everything opening and shutting) plus family commitments mean that one has to scratch a few extra minutes to write on my Converse Conserve.com website and of course here. Having a firm interest in the ways we share our green messages, I was reading the Age and discovered a band who are off to the Glastonbury festival, who refer to themselves as Eco Minstrels.
They are called the Formidable Vegetable Sound System (see You tube video) and theirs is a very unique way of promoting permaculture in the form of vegie growing antics, swing, acid jazz and funk. They speak about their sound and presentation as yet another way of making sustainability fun. And I think it works! Speaking of home grown produce, tried some persimmons today from a friend's garden - they are very tasty but leave a strange sensation in the mouth.
