Hah. What do you call a nun on the run? Chaste!

Look you lot. This is supposed to be a serious topic about something that could be a real solution to the problems we face, by someone who is prepared to put his money where his mouth is, and try to do something about it. I've got serious money riding on this, and my future is at stake, so I want nun of this silliness :wink:.

I was afraid this would degenerate into nun puns. I really thought we'd gotten away with it for a minute there. ;)

Fairly conventional response, emord. Do you have prior form?

I know it's rather wandering off topic, but I've got this project looking for people and ideas, that could help some of us to survive PO, climate change and all that stuff, that I seem to remember we discuss sometimes. I just wondered if someone might be interested. You could even come and help create the forest garden that our Sis helped me start, before she acquired her habit. Sorry to disrupt the conversation :).

John, sorry for the apse, sorry, I mean the lapse, of taste...

I really don't have a constructive suggestion to make, without knowing a lot more about the project, the problem and the situation. I have a bit of leave due, perhaps I'll bring the boy to Wales and we can have a cup of tea and discuss the issue?

Good luck with that! It certainly sounds like an excellent opportunity for the right person. I'm interested in similar sorts of things (I'm currently studying agroforestry and forest gardening) and looking for a shared/community living, but I lack monies and am more aiming to flee to NZ or Ireland to better survive the worsening situation if I can, as the UK seems too over-crowded to me.

You'll be lucky to get into NZ unless you have something good to offer them. But anyone (in the UK) can move to Ireland and it is beginning to appear on my own radar as as a real possibility. All that open space...all that rain...

I would like to find out more, we are currently in welshpool, and are undecided about where we want to be, as we can't afford to go it alone.

i will PM you.
