Thought that on this beautiful sunny Autumn morning (feels like the morning after the Great Flood, given the extraordinary rainfall we had yesterday) you might like to have a snapshot of what TTT is up to, courtesy of our latest Bulletin which was published yesterday. Click here to read it.
Yesterday I showed you the film produced from the talk I gave via video conference to Tallinn in Estonia as part of the ‘Life After Capitalism’ series. Part of the series featured a web-forum, where people were invited to post ‘reflections’ on what they had seen or experienced during the series of talks. Here is a short film made by Marit Sirgmets inspired by my talk.

A few weeks ago, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall came to Totnes to film about the town’s Garden Share scheme as part of his new series, River Cottage Autumn. The episode featuring Garden Share goes out tonight on Channel 4 at 8pm, and is called ‘Vegging Out’.
Here is what the event looked like to me, sat in the video conference room in Dartington.
As regular readers will know, I gave up flying a couple of years ago, and so when invited to speak at events outside the UK, I am drawn to the potential of the communications technology we now have at our disposal to obviate our need to travel at all. When I was asked to be part of the ‘Life After Capitalism’ series of lectures at the Von Krahl Theatre in Tallinn in Estonia, which brought together activists and artists, I discovered the most wonderful technology, video conferencing, thanks to the facilities at nearby Dartington.
It has long been a source of frustration that Transition Network has been unable to produce a regular newsletter of some kind to enable Transitionistas of various hues to keep in touch with each other and with events, news and developments across the network. Now we need no longer bemoan its non-existence, as Transition Network News is now here! Mike Grenville of Transition Forest Row has nobly stepped into the breach and taken on the task of ensuring that once a month, you all can get a nutritious Transition snack, a satisfying digest of all that is good and delicious out there in Transition Land. You can see October’s newsletter (Mike’s first) here, and the main page, which will be updated with news as and when it arrives here. If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter, so that it appears miraculously in your email once a month, click here. Our thanks to Mike for providing this wonderful service. If you want anything to go in November’s newsletter, please email your stories and news to Mike.
