From Baglady our Editor-At-Large

Gday all, Baglady speaking

These 4 weeks I’m Editor@Large for the Festival of Resilience. My job is to get round the Mountains ASAP = As Sustainably As Possible –  and meet all you people who are doing things you’re proud of – or feel you/we need to do better.

I want to spread the word to all of our 73,000+ Blue Mountains residents, young and old. And since Baglady can’t be everywhere at once – can YOU please send us photos from events you run, or go to?  Anything sustainable you’re doing?   Send to us at hello@festivalofresilience.org.

Each of us in our own way can pass on the message. The time is now, and we need to show our children, how much we care.

And Lure Wishes holds her 2nd workshop Rekindling Connection on Saturday 17th September form 10am.

So please, send YOUR photos to hello@festivalofresilience.org

See you in a week.  For our children’s future,

Baglady
