Waking to the sound of commotion outside the bungalow, we realized that it was not Tuesday (as we had previously been told) but Monday that the reporters from the Sentinel local newspaper would be arriving to take pictures and ask questions for an article that would be published the following day about the bungalow and the benefits of green student living. Luckily, we managed to pull ourselves together, and were out dressed and washed within five minutes, shovels and spades to the ready, with beaming smiles to show the world how enjoyable sustainable living really is! Chatting to Kathy the reporter about the joys of growing your own veg and seeing a project such as this come together so well!

Events of the week also include - receiving a compost bin from a guy on ‘freecycle’, which we’ve been diligently using to deposit all of our bio degradable kitchen waste in, which we hope will provide fertile soil for the garden in the spring.
And also…..finding that the keys given to us by accommodation lead us to a bike shed that was not only completely insecure but also full, making it completely useless for anyone in Barnes requiring somewhere to put their bike. But not to worry, we now have a bike rack being delivered which we plan to secure to the side of the house in the next few days. We just hope Keele will make room for more cyclists living on campus in the future!
