However, have just managed to retrieve the website address - which I hope is useful! …See More

"This is great, Sarah! I'm so glad to see so many people interested in this - Debby Lockey and I did a lone swap last autumn when we had a go with this idea - and I have to say the feeling of swapping produce is so SO much better than buying!…"

Cathy Cook replied to Cathy Cook's discussion 'Food Swaps'

"Hi Debby, That sounds great thank you! Our chard bolted this summer so we've sadly not get any for any for over-winter supplies this year. Either spinach or chard or a some of each would be lovely. How may eggs would you like? We always have…"

Debby Lockey replied to Cathy Cook's discussion 'Food Swaps'

"Hi Cathy - great idea. I've got plenty of perpetual spinach and some chard - would you like to swap for eggs? I'm planning to go to the Heat Exchange and I live in Brock. so maybe we can do something then? Thanks Debby"

Cathy Cook replied to Cathy Cook's discussion 'Food Swaps'

"Hi Richard, That sounds like a good idea - but not sure that I could field it at the moment myself - a small crisis which I need to urgently address has sprung up very inconveniently! So my time won't be my own for a few weeks I'm afraid!…"
