SWITCH

I must have been so tired after SWITCH because I am sure I posted something about how wonderful it had been but it is not on the blog anywhere.....so, rather belatedly, thank you everyone for helping to pull together a wonderful day. We had very few complaints and very few hitches - or not that you need know about!

SWITCH

This time last week we were still trying to recover from the IT problems that bedevilled the booking system for SWITCH. We were still trying to find out who was coming and what they wanted to do. We were still trying to find trainers for sessions we were suddenly going to put on. Yet today SWITCH ran smoothly with high attendance, few complaints and a degree of smoothness we would not have predicted. So I would like to thank everyone including the organising committee, trainers, stall holders, those helping with set up and clearing, etc and everyone who came and had a good time.

Just a last reminder - Don't forget to vote for Heronswey....

Voting closes on October 23rd.

Fungi

Last week I had an interesting conversation with my optician who, it turns out, is a keen forager. On Tuesday I went to River Cottage and did a day of mushroom foraging....although most of what we spotted were poisonous or inedible. Anyway, that cost £165 and it took 3 hours to drive there. The optician, on the other hand, works in Hersham and has offered to do a fungi foray free of charge on October 22nd at Heyswood. Because it is the first time he has done anything like this he is only going to take 12 of us. So if you want to come you need to sign up on the list I will put up at SWITCH.
PS in case you are wondering about why we are going to Heyswood it is because that is the woodland he picks in and it is close to where he works so he can come along after his clinic finishes.
