May Issue now in the Shops
The May issue is now in the shops. It includes an article
on Gouarec, based on conversations withg an old lady now living in the maison de retraite, an amusing account of a reader’s attempt to clear his blocked up well, and a look at the phenomenon known as Peak Oil.
The May issue also features several pages of events in its what’s on section – and the usual advice from Tim the Gardener and Mr Business, plus recipes from Hetty’s Kitchen and drawings of the three compilers of the Prize Crosswords.
The continuing theme of the Journal for 2012 is how a local community should respond to the rolling financial crisis in Europe, and what ordinary people can do to develope a more sustainable economy on a local level.
