Long time no blog!

September 7th, 2006

Blame it on the summer, but it’s been far too long since I last wrote something - sorry! A lot’s happened since my last entry.

First, hubby and I went on holiday in North Wales, as I’ve always wanted to visit the Centre for Alternative Technology , and this year I finally did it, hooray! Hubby also did some active stuff like mountain biking and white water rafting, while I lay back and enjoyed the fantastic scenery.

Then later in the summer we went to the Greenbelt Festival which was AMAZING!! I’d been before, but not for a while; in fact I discovered that I only went every 7 years. My first time was in ‘92, then ‘99 and now in ‘06. I’m hoping it won’t be so long before I go again!

Anyway the reason I ended up at GB again this year was all down to The Year of Living Generously and the discussion on the email list by seasoned Greenbelters about how much fun it was and what they were planning this year. Generous had their own area in one of the tents and it was a great opportunity to meet people I’d only ever chatted to online.

One of the Generous seminars was about the future of Generous, and my hubby ‘generously’ (??) volunteered me to stand up at the front and tell everyone about my involvement in Generous - I’ll get him back sometime… The seminars in general and the discussion they provoked were all really inspiring though, and I think I may have come up with a plan for introducing some of the ideas at church. However I have to go now, so I’ll tell you all about it another time. ‘Bye!
