Just a quick note to say that we are overwhelmed by the exponential growth in interest in our website, with more than 100 000 hits today alone. We have also had a number of Emails commenting on the picture taken by our resident photographer (and chef) Leon Beaton, and it is great that so many of you are following our progress and enjoying the journey along with us.

The donations are picking up, but we are still very keen to raise more money for our charities. One of our main aims in this program was to support the development of sustainable food and energy programs in third-world countries. It is these countries that will be hardest hit by the effects of climate change, and we believe that developing sustainable systems of food and energy is essential both in terms of human health and wellbeing, and of environmental protection. Embarking on this journey has been a way to make this happen, and we hope that you will support us in our efforts and encourage your friends to do the same.
