Hi Adam,
Yes, I would love to come, and may [proudly] bring my new 5m/15ft YURT for a sharing space. I have put the date in my diary.
Meanwhile the BDLT are going ahead with land purchase at Hammonds Farm, south of Hawkwood College & want to set up projects…..
Such a strategic site; such possibilities. Need more knowledge and skill.

It's great that you're trying to progress it, but somehow there are rather a lot of things going on all of a sudden, so don't be disheartened if now isn't the time.
