Some of those look tempting and I'll try to organise myself to make them possible. Didn't get as far as November (only February), but maybe when I've bought a diary.
Happy New Year. See you soon.

Many thanks for the booklet - I recieved it a week or so ago - it's very interesting and entertaining.
Unfortunately we have postponed the nettle beer workshop this weekend, as we're going to make it part of a wider event. Would you be interested in participating and sharing your botanical skills. I know that many would be interested in acquiring them!
thanks again
Dan
Thanks so much for the kind offer of your nettle booklet, I would love it.
My address is 67 Nantes Close, London SW18 1JL.
Incidentally, if you have the time, it would be great to have you along at the event - any input you could provide on various lore and uses would be very interesting - and much appreciated.
Thanks again
Dan
