Recently Gavin, from The Greening of Gavin, started doing some interviews with bloggers, and posting them on his blog. I think this is a great idea because it is so nice to hear the voices and stories of people whose blogs we all read, wherever they are in the world. I was the guinea pig and you can hear the chat I had with Gavin here....If you'd be happy to chat with Gavin, so we can all get to hear you and about you, send him an email: greeningofgavin@gmail.com.
I am giving a talk and slide show of my trip to the Cygnet U3A group in a week or so and this has started me thinking....
In 2012 my son Alex will be graduating with a PhD from Oxford University and I plan to go to the graduation.... what mother would not! And in my mind is another Vegetable Vagabond trip.... and this time I WILL write the book, complete with stories from the first trip too.... Who will I meet this time? Who will offer me a place to stay for a few days in exchange for me digging in their soil and cooking in their kitchen? I have a side bar full to overflowing with my favourite blogs from all corners of the earth.... I'd love to meet some of you and share laughs and stories and local food with you, wherever you live. I am pretty sure it will be in the second half of 2012 but the dates are not set yet.

Kate,
You can stay at our place before you fly out if you are starting from Melbourne? We are only 20 minutes from the airport and I can give you a lift.

This sounds exciting, Kate! You're always welcome here in Gabian - I know you 'did' Gabian on your last trip, but please do stay with us again if you're passing. It would be great to see you again.
I hadn't realised you had done that trip until I heard your interview. Brilliant idea. You must have so many stories. I don't have much soil to dig, but the kitchen is warm and the conversation noisy.
Dear City hippyfarmgirl, I cannot work out from your blog where you live! In my side bar I have you living in blogland.... please help!
Thanks Gavin and Teleri, looks like we have lift-off! I have also had a couple of emails....yippee.
Sydney Kate... Although I kind of liked the idea of sitting in the whimsical land of blog :-)
Actually I'm going to be down your way later on in the year. If you can think of any where in particular that you think would be loved by two noisy little people and their keepers, please let me know.
Kate: let's definitely see if we can work it out this time. I have so much more to show you than last time!
There'll be no keeping me away, Pattie!
