[GSBN] Hello England... France calling...

[Chug]

Hi Joyce

I hope all is good with you, and yes it would be well worth contacting 
Rachel, it's a beautiful house, and the first LB two storey SB home in the 
UK (do you remember we all stayed for the night on the 2004 SB tour leading 
up to ISBBC) I have copied this to Rachel so you have her email address now. 
Rachel Shiamh penwhilwr at hotmail.com

And it's been ages since I wrote anything for TLS so maybe I'll have to get 
my backside in gear and contribute something soon. I will send out a note 
via my mailing list about TLS subscriptions and sometime in the near future 
I will place something on my website too.

warmest regards and bale on

Chug,

I don't think TLS has ever done an article about Rachel's straw-bale house
in Wales... Should I pursue this - and can you help me get in touch if you
think it's worthy of an article/project page.

I also would like to find a way to get in touch with potential
reader/subscribers of TLS in the UK now that Amazon Nails/W.I.S.E. isn't
sending the journal out any longer. Could I put a note on the web site you
administer? Are there other web sites or listservs that I could use to get
the message out. Now that we have online pdf formatted issues available and
the CD1-40 is also available online in pdf format, I'd like to share TLS
with people in the UK who are interested or involved in strawbale and
natural building. Would also like to have articles from the UK about
projects, methods, details, techniques and tips, etc.

Joyce
