Our bungalow has really been in the spotlight this week - John Collins from bbc radio stoke coming along to interview the four of us, enthusiastically posing questions on the benefits of sustainable living and the project in general was great fun. Special interest was shown in the garden - putting together the raised beds for the vegetables, getting a compost bin going and looking at ways of getting students and the local community thinking about issues of sustainability. We hope to hear our news broadcast on bbc stoke and up for listening on bbc iplayer in the not too distant future.
And a few leeks and broccoli added for good measure!!
Following this, Keele's vice chancellor Nick Forsket also dropped by to have a look at our freshly planted leeks and runner beans and we were bowled over by such support shown by him and the university.
Along with all that Keele's student magazine Concourse has published a piece on the bungalow raising awareness of our project, so feel free to pick a copy or two from the students union!
