Hello everyone and sorry for not writing sooner. Have been doing a bit of travelling around in the past week and now I'm at my second organic farm placement in Wales where I don't have easy internet access. When I left Scotland about a week and a half ago I went across to Belfast to visit my cousin Heidi and her husband Simon (it was lovely to see you both. I hope conference went well Simon). I was only there for 2 days but it was great to be there all the same. I then travelled down to Wales and spent a couple of days in Corris where I visited the Centre for Alternative Technology which was an inspirational place (even though it was pouring with rain!). I then travelled to the little town of Caersws in Central Wales where Sue, Sean and their two children Sammy (8) and Sophie (5) met me. Their place is a few miles from Caersws-a very rural and beautiful area. It has been raining a lot here but I guess that's not so suprising since it is autumn... I've been spending most of my time helping in the house and looking after the children which has been fun-also exhausting at times! Well I better go. Will write again when I can. Love to you all and thanks for all the messages and emails-its great to hear from you all. Sonia :-)
