There will be no post here tomorrow morning as I am off to Lewes on the 9.50 train for the **Official Unleashing of Transition Town Lewes** this evening. Lewes is the second town outside of Totnes to hold an Unleashing. The event is a celebration of the great work that they have done so far, and of the momentum behind their future work. Like the other Unleashings, it is designed to be the evening people will look back to as the point where it all began.
