I've recently discovered the website of the North Kelvin Meadow Campaign. I don't know if you remember we had our lovely little community garden near here where I used to add my food waste to the compost, but which was evicted and the land given over to developers last year. It looks like something similar is happening here, with the added ridiculousness of the locals being taken to court for the heinous crime of creating a wildflower meadow and growing their own veg. I've signed the petition and would encourage any of you to do the same (top of the left hand side bar).
I was a bit sad and subdued this morning, listening to a programme on Radio 4 about Shetland. I know I did the right thing not taking the job, the timing was all wrong, but an island life away from the rat-race is still a dream. But at least while I'm in the city I can try and support the green oases of calm we have here, while we still have them.
