Back here in London, I set up a community interest company trying to bring earth structures into our city - here's to less grey (concrete). I also wanted to set up a TT here where I live but found out that Finsbury Park had one already kicking- so I joined up and have never looked back. I too have pics, including, sadly, images of cob that has been burnt. I am sorry that this happened but I am happy that from these ashes great things have risen. Here's mud in your eye as they say Go well Hi Rob – memory lane for me looking over these, as this is where I first learnt all about cob and was reminded about TT.

I have quite a few photos of Thomas and Ulrike's house. Let me know if you'd like me to get them to you Rob, I was at the Hollies a few weeks ago while visiting the good folk at Transition Kinsale, with a view to spreading the transition message up here in north Donegal via our Transition Inishowen group .
