The winners of our recent competition to win signed copies of Richard Heinberg’s new book The Oil Depletion Protocol are **Steve Wheeler**, **Graham Strouts** and **John McCormack**. The correct answer was that Richard Heinberg plays the violin, see right for photographic evidence. Many thanks to all who entered, and to Clairview Books.
There will be a short break here at **Transition Culture**, as I am away until Friday. I am going to the island of Jersey to do a few talks and have meetings with island dignitaries about powerdown and energy descent and how the island might best prepare. The trip has been organised by the Jersey National Trust, the Jersey Organic Trust and Jersey Slow Food, and is intended to increase awareness about the need for more localised approaches to food production. I’ll let you know how it went when I get back. Next post here will be this Friday.
**Transition Town Totnes Hosts Organic Gardening Guru Bob Flowerdew.**
Bob Flowerdew, BBC Radio 4’s organic gardening expert, will be visiting Totnes on Thursday 26th Oct. to give a public talk about his system of “No Work Gardening”, which is also the title of his latest book. The talk will take place in the Totnes Civic Hall at 7.30 pm (doors open at 6.45 pm) Bob’s talk aims to present the choices open to us all for creating organic gardens with the minimum of effort, and to encourage us to relax and enjoy our gardening through letting Nature, to a large extent, do the work. The evening also sees the official launch of the Transition Town Totnes food group, which will be exploring the practicalities of the town becoming more self reliant in terms of food provision.
A while ago I wrote about my impending transition to unclehood, and I am delighted to announce that Jake John Robert Parsons arrived in the world the other day in dramatic fashion, healthy and well and rather huge. All my love and the best of everything to Jo and Ian, tired but proud parents; many blessings on your path through parenthood.
We’re back! After two days of webwierdness **Transition Culture** is back up and atcha. Victims of our own success, we used up all our bandwidth and had to decant elsewhere. We are averaging over 1500 visitors a day now, and our old host just could’t cope. Anyway, all is well now. OK. Down to business. Competition winners. Last week we held our fantastic **Transition Culture** “Win a Copy of the Atlas of Climate Change” competition, and it is now my honour to reveal the winners.
