Since April this year I’ve been on sabbatical, finishing a couple of book contributions, researching some inspiring communities and most importantly of all, spending time with my family and closest friends. We spent August in America – my fourth flight in my adult life and not an experience I’m in a hurry to repeat – but a necessary trip and one I don’t regret. I can tell you that trains in the USA seemed remarkably cheap and it is possible to walk and cycle your way round the States relatively easily. Even the New York Subway is fast and efficient, although subject to the same weekend chaos as the London Tube (why does track work always need to be done on my route?)
Now, it’s back to work for me. I have some exciting new projects getting under way in September, which I’ll tell you more about in the next few weeks. But for now, you’ll have to make do with a prview of this amazing new book created by Tessy Britton. You can read a preview on Blurb, whee you can also order your own copy. Contributors include me, Rob Hopkins (co founder of the Transition Network), David Gaunlett and many others. I dare you not to be inspired when you read it.
