And suddenly its April. The cherry blossoms have popped, Hails is dying from allergies, Josie is in her last week of classes and Lauren is up to her knees again in landscaping. Spring is here. Apparently. And that means summer is right around the corner, which means 56 days until June 1st. 56 days until we leave! Ah! A realisation that fills me with dread with the thought of all the things that we still need to do before we leave, but also sheer giddy pleasure, the kind that creeps up the back of your neck and finds its way to your mouth, in a smile you can't quite wipe away. Oh man. Stoked and freaked.
This weekend, because we like to live on the wild side, us birds are heading over to Victoria for a weekend excursion, gear trial run, film/interview practice, and you know have general good time.
We are very excited because we will be visiting the Wayward School. It is a cooperative school all about thinking, making and doing. They offer interdisciplinary workshops, lectures, seminars, and community gatherings. This weekend they will be hosting workshops on tempeh, knife sharpening and lactofermentaion. Cool huh? We're looking forward to getting a chance to catch up with Heather Cosidetto and Stephen Morales, the folks behind the Wayward school, and to learn about the history of fermentation and friendly bacteria. Wahoo!
Stay tuned to photos and footage from the expedition.
