Went to a comprehensive in Redbridge this pm to give an introductory talk on Amnesty International. On apparently what was an optional period it was great to see about 100 year 12s turn up to listen. The teacher who organised it is very keen to get a youth group going at the school and i was impressed at how knowledgeable they were about Amnesty and they even applauded after the 4 minute dvd, which is a first and very touching.
I came away feeling quite optimistic, the schools and unis often make me feel like that and i hope the young teacher gets the support from the students to get the group started, i have a feeling she definitely will.
Thank goodness the w/e starts here as they say! Watched a programme on keeping a vegetable plot, which has further encouraged me to work harder on our plot and try and recreate the allotment which i had for a number of years. I really enjoy both working the plot and reaping its benefits, but i need to order a lot more compost/manure as the plot isn't in the optimum position as regards the sun and the soil still needs a lot of enriching. I think that job begins this w/e!
