Hi Chris, It's great to see you here! Let me know if I can help you with your photo... cropping, sizing, adjusting contrast, fitting it to the site, etc. Then when I've returned it to you, you can post it to the site at Profile Photo. Photos become very important as our group grows.

Hi Chris, I'd like to join the Kingsland Sandringham group. Transition towns seem to be a great place to explore for great ideas on better living. My main interest at the moment is in developing SUPER(local)MARKETS.... block by block urban versions of the farmers markets. I grow spinach, tamarillos, silverbeet, rosemary, mint, potatoes, rhubarb. What does my neighbour grow? Could 40 or so households in my block grow diverse enough primary produce to share and barter every week? Would the process encourage all sorts of other community growth? It would certainly be eating green ! Less carbon footprint for that greenpepper you want to add to your dinner. Possibly less cost for your vege needs if the barter system works.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Bryony

Hi Chris,
Any chance you can re-upload the image for your group? It's making the home page look funny. :)
