Posting will be light over the next two months as we all take a well deserved break. We’ll be back in the Autumn with a “Transition Reboot” meeting – a chance for everyone to catch up, reboot and get involved in the coming seasons events and projects.

In the pipeline is a “Sound Bites and Food 4 Thought” night in Fleva Brasserie, the Kilkenny Local Currency, a 50 Mile Meal Award as well as the ongoing Green Screen, Global Lunch Box and 400 Fruit Tree projects – plenty of exciting ways to get stuck in.

In the meantime look out for those little miracles of life that happen every day. Pictured here is my daughter Roisin with two newly born chicks that hatched out under an old fire place (one of them is now called ‘chimeny’). It never ceases to amaze me that an egg placed under a broody hen will turn into an adorable living creature in 21 days time – a true miracle if ever there was one.

Enjoy the summer and, if you happen to be reading this on the 11th July, ‘Happy Peak Oil day’ !
