I’m in Totnes UK for a 5-day writing/story-telling workshop with Paul Kingsnorth and Dougald Hine, authors of the masterful Dark Mountain Manifesto. Also home to Rob Hopkins and the gang from Transition Network. Not a bad place to spend a birthday (and thanks for the many notes about that).
Ah, so near where my parents live. If only I could get them together with you guys – I’m sure you’d have them on board in no time! They’re progressive types, so I’m lucky in that regard, but a gentle nudge would do them good ;-)
Having said that, they’re far better prepared than I am for the coming collapse, as at least they’re permies.
Dave,
