I was talking about this in the Emma Show last night (the live version of the Emma and Pete Show where Pete left to take a phone call and I was wittering to myself for half an hour) but since the recording didn’t take only 7 people heard me ;)
At the end of this month it looks as though I will be making my first official outing as a published author (my book is available to pre-order at Amazon, it’s so exciting :) at the Big Green Gathering, several days of music and good, green fun way out west.
The original plan was that I would head along and do a signing – but although the book is now at the printer, it’s impossible to guarantee that it will be ready in time for me to take along, so I needed a back up plan. And the back up plan is that I will be there, in the Permaculture marquee, running an Alternative Kitchen Garden seed swap! Visitors to the BGG will be able to bring along their spare seeds, swap them for something else and grow something different next year.
Preparations are going well. I’ve packed home-saved seeds into home-made envelopes, and made bunting. I have received two boxes of seeds from seed companies (not the ethically dodgy big ones) who want to lend a hand, and have an offer of help from Garden Organic’s famous Heritage Seed Library as well.
The only thing I haven’t done yet is attempt to put the tent up…. I really should give that a try before I go.
