What changes can we make to our lives to deal with the economic and energy crises ahead? Have you already started making preparations? Got tips to share?

Who's Ken? Is he moving here too?

I know about the rain, I've been here for weeks! Don't know why I'm moving here really, but it's too late now. Just come back from a few days in England. It was sunny until I stopped for lunch in the Forest of Dean, but it's been wet ever since, and now it's pissing down again :roll:

I've been to the last two Transition Cafes, and I'll be at the Christmas Fair tomorrow! I've even managed to get on the e-mail list at last, after giving my e-mail address at the Dragon Festival in July :lol:

haha - Sorry John, my brain was misfiring there.

This year has been extraordinarily wet, even by Wales standards. One wonders where it's all coming from.

The Azores, allegedly. I saw a meterologist on TV explaining that there was a "conveyor" weather system where a corridor of warm moist air was being held between two fronts in a narrow North-bound belt. The belt crosses Southern Ireland, Wales and the Midlands and drops the water.

I was talking to someone who's lived here since 1959, at the local Transition group Yuletide Fair this afternoon, and she thinks it's the wettest she's ever known it.

Good man JohnB. Long life, health and happiness to you and your mutt. Especially the mutt. :wink: :lol:
