Message From Vic !

Hi Michael, super resource, thank you for inspiring it into being, may I direct future course students to this blog perhaps we could keep in touch this way?
Just a couple of things I forgot to mention .... in response to people's questions, the Pine tree that provides pine nuts for pesto sauce etc is the Italian Stone Pine (pinus pinea), there is one at the entrance to Offshoots, perhaps in October there will be cones and we could propagate them! There is also an active can-o-worms on site - we forgot to look in! Many other questions - e.g. local LETS, we need a new group to start up in Burnley / Pennine Lancashire, a core group could arrange to meet and consider launching one perhaps, thank you again, see you soon, regards Vic
