27th MAY 2022 Unusually, as you may have seen, I put out an extra email to readers on Thursday. And for my friends who are not on the blog circulation list I sent a similar message, with the following Subject … ‘A 24 hour window is ticking down on this!’ […]
20th MAY 2022 It’s well over a decade since I was living in London myself, but Carole’s blog last week brought back many memories. It made me decide to continue the London theme a little longer, looking into my favourite topic of locally-based energy schemes. There is no shortage of […]
13th MAY 2022 from our LONDON CORRESPONDENT, Carole Lee Whenever I visit Cornwall, I can’t fail to see how green and beautiful it is. Living in South London is another kettle of fish altogether, although I confess that I do have the great good fortune to be manager of a […]
5th MAY 2022 – Week 18 Every week I write about problems and potential solutions, STEM projects that could change the world. But it is hard to balance sometimes. When there is a ton of bad news to sort through I will never overload the blog with it. That’s cos […]

It is beyond shocking to see how the world has changed in 6 months. Back in October the Chancellor was able to talk up his incentives for green initiatives ahead of COP 26 but now the situation is so grim. It is a real struggle to find anything positive to […]
EDEN EARTHQUAKE At the end of last week, there was a quite dramatic moment nearby as the Eden Project Geo-thermal drilling caused a small earthquake of 1.6. It was reported on the evening TV news and in local papers, but the best summary came to us personally, by email, since […]
MARCH 11th This week at The Meadow Barns Another email arrived about the Big Repair Project, which notified of an up-coming dedicated repair week in London, rather than Cornwall. The greatest emphasis is on sewing skills and I am surprised and pleased to see how many workshops are being run […]
