Nothing arrived but don't worry just give me £20 cash when we get there and I can pay for the camping and a few extras we might need for materials or something.

About the skillshare? Or are you asking us for a general moral judgement?

Possibly a bit of both: were you thinking of anything in particular?

Is there still room for two more please. We can camp but will probably not be there until the saturday morning as we hope to combine it with a visit to Pete's sister in Ilfracombe on the friday.
Pete said he can bring the mini lathe, demo and do a 'have a go session' all he needs is 13amp socket.

Right, we are now hoping to come, slowly in the van with me in the back with Willow/suction, we'll decide properly after our journeys to Dorset over the next few few weeks, which about half the distance. Mandy, I'm assuming I'm not up to date on subs? Will sort that if not, please hassle me for it because my brain is full of fluff/appointments to remember so stuff falls out

Can we sort out how the rabbits are going to integrate in to the whole thing? I'm not spending the Saturday morning knocking twenty bunnies on the head for them to be wasted; so we need to plan both what is going to happen to the skins and when/how the meat is going to be butchered. And who is going to be involved with that - at the last skillshare where a lot of meat was given by MJ, two people spent a whole afternoon butchering it without any help. That is not a fun way to spend a weekend and I don't want it to happen again.
I don't mean to be pissy - but both Ali and I will have put a lot of time and effort in to producing the rabbits and it needs to be organised to make the most of that.
I am happy to both demonstrate killing and to kill them. But after that, I'm not prepared to skin them or butcher them. So we need volunteers to do that, under supervision if they have never done it before and want to learn.
And that sort of thing.

We only really need extra food like cake and cheese. The main bulk of the food will come out of the communal meals. Helen is in charge of food in general though.
I think we will be looking at about 2 dozen adults and 10 children.

We are looking forward to the weekend. We went bramble picking today and collected half a kilo from local hedgerows and plan to freeze then to use them in something to bring for the weekend.
Can anyone please suggest any good cake recipes or anything else that doesn't need to be kept chilled during the journey to Devon.
Thanks
Ps will there be a bring and swap type thing as we have a few books to give away.

bumit is looking increasingly unlikely that I can come to this skill share after all I have a kitchen being finally delivered on Wednesday together with a floor, and think i'd best be here to see whats going on whilst its a work in progress....if by any chance it magically happens, I might be able to make it, but I doubt it.
Sorry, Alison, I won't be seeing your home and will miss meeting some new friends
