Looking back at summer
Looking back at the summer '07 - it was a busy one here on Bainbridge. We had many special people stay with us and of course, most people got roped into working on this or that. The pictures are the reminders of the endless sunny days and we'll need to look back on them in the months to come to stay warm. Looking at these pictures I'm reminded that the place isn't the thing, but rather the people that come together in the place. I'm confident that Barry and I et al can recreate this garden space almost anywhere. That's a bit counter-intuitive since all the work that's gone into the property you'd think we could never leave. For me, it's been about the belief in growing good food and the process we followed to get there. The icing on the cake has been the product of a beautiful space. The process is the thing that has brought people together in the space, not vice-versa. Funny how that works. That's why, I guess, I feel that this particular place is not the point. We can take the values and process with us wherever we may go.
