* slow food *
here in the Blue Mountains there are quite a lot of old homes with old gardens. Many fruit trees bear fruit, year after year with most of it going to waste. A group of fun people have joined together to get all these fruit trees onto a community register and each year some will gather the fruit and others will make it into jams; pickles & chutneys. I have an 80 year old apple tree that bears prolifically each year and there are only so many apple pies and crumbles that we can eat. I also have a persimmon tree that bears well. This group also goes out to dinner once a month to an organic restaurant that uses all local produce. I decided to join up today...it sounds like lots of fun and plenty of sharing of ideas. They call themselves the slow food group as nothing is fast * they take time to sit at a table enjoying home grown produce with friends and like minded people * how perfect !!!!

I love the concept of the "slow food" movement and slowly but surely it is making an impact on more and more communities...good for you ms*robyn for doing your bit ~ wonderful!
This just caused me to take a deep, relaxing breath thinking of you all getting together like this.
Bet you'll make some special friends too in the bargain!
Aahhh it sounds so beautiful and relaxing and delishous,cant wait till you tell more about the group..Years ago when i was 14 i went and lived with my grandad for a year and he had this apple tree in the back yard i used to make him and myself apple pie and icecream all the time..thanks for taking me back there for a moment:)
