It is a problem as you rightly highlight. I believe cost will, for most be the decisive factor in how and where they shop. Education in food is another fundamental issue and not just at school level, we just don't cook enough anymore because it is too easy to stick something in the microwave and get the mealtime process out of the way. I have seen budding allotment owners come and go, the idea sounds good but the reality less so. All in all I think it comes down to how badly we want it. Nice to hear from you Rob, hope you return. Regards Miles Rob,

My belief is that the future is local, seasonal and organic. But how we get to that place from where we are now, I am not at all clear.

Strangely and mixture of your blog and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstalls new series River Cottage autumn has got e thinking about utilizing the hedgerows. I'll not be quite as deluxe as Mark Hix sounds but I'm keen to try and integrate the idea into some of my slightly more simple dishes. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good work Rod Miles
