[Lesson 1 - last post of the day at the top, but not necessarily with pictures in the right order]Just one day away again, and I am struggling to keep up with the backlog.
But this one was worth it. Because, dear reader, last night's jaunt to London was a) fun and b) ended with a bit of a result.
We were there for 'Dreaming of a Green Christmas' at the Science Museum's Dana Centre.
A hundred were invited, and I'd say sixty or so turned up, and it was a pretty packed affair at that.
I'll let the link take you to who was there, but it was an eclectic mix and I learned a fair bit.
Met some nice folk, from co-panellists/exhibitors, to audience members. My personal favourite comment was from one who, on being asked why she voted for Junkk.com, said 'Well, reuse is the best eco-option there is' (taking reduction as a given). Nice to see, live, that people 'get' what we're trying to do. The stand was popular, and I have a few new items I made for the event that went down well and must post.
I also got speak, and pitch for Junkk.com on a few award category criteria, including 'best for' recycling, reuse, energy effciency and sustainability.
Well, with much chuffingness, I can advise we managed to score top slot in 3 of the 4.
And with a couple we did it by quite a margin. See that big bar in the picture.... us!
A bit of a boost, and another notch on the way.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
