Save Sipson

This is a snap of the lovely Tracey from Sipson village. Although she probably won't thank me for uploading it, as it was taken on Monday as she was packing up from Glastonbury, and believe me there was absolutely no one looking at their best!

Sipson is the village that will be demolished if BA gets away with its stupid Heathrow expansion plans. Tracey was down at Glastonbury on the Green Peace Air Plot garden to tell people about the vibrant community in Sipson. I think she really touched people and was very inspiring.

Bumper Fun Blag of the Year!

Woop woop I have just spent the last week at the Glastonbury festival all courtesy of work.

Before I get carried away, it wasn't all about having a mad one, we went down to build an orchard and an air miles garden. We were based in the Green Peace spot where the focus was against the stupid Heathrow expansion. We took the apples trees down to highlight that the Cox apple comes from Sipson, the village that will be demolished if the expansion happens.

The idea behind the Air Miles Garden was to show people how much stuff is flown in and how many diverse things you could actually grow yourself, even out of typical season.

It all went down well but more importantly we all had a wicked time. Dizzy Rascal was fab but the best music was definitely Peaches, it was a right waste that she was on in the Dance Village on Sunday night. The main soundtrack to this years festival though will be 'pshiisstt'. That's the sound of balloons being filled with nitrous oxide. They were bloody everywhere!!

This is what the labels Ro printed for the parsnip wine look like.

Printing Wine Labels

There is nothing like a good old bit of child labour. The Victorians weren't all bad!

This is a snap of Rosa silk screen printing some labels for my home made parsnip wine. She has printed me some lovely labels mixing inks together as she dragged the squeegee across and leaving a leaf shaped blank bit in the middle for me to write the description.
