  1. I 'm one of the lucky ones on this site(I'm Kevin) and although the quotes are all things I didn't actually say(!) the gist of the article is about right. Mid- July and we're actually harvesting some stuff even though we've only managed to dig over half the plot. The site has loads of old currant bushes- and we've been invited to pick some for ourselves. Why aren't there more folk fae Scotland on Landshare!
