Fairtrade Fortnight 2

Really difficult to get internet up here in Durness so I am making one post and then will do one for the whole fortnight when we get home.

Have tried our best to be as ethical as possible up here in the northernmost village on mainland Britain with veg meals and local produce. 

On the way up we have been showing off the FT label, logo and bunting.

Here is my favourite photo so far with a challenge.

HAS ANYONE SHOWN OFF THEIR FT BUNTING (and label) FURTHER NORTH, THAN ME, ON MAINLAND BRITAIN ? 
This picture was taken on Faraid Head, Durness.

Fairtrade Fortnight 1

Had a fun time today at Admaston House with everyone at Pushchair People (Tuesdays 9.30-11.30am) making some decorated bunting for the Fairtrade Foundation's challenge to create the longest Fairtrade bunting in the world. It's a publicity attempt to get into the Guiness Book of Records and, more importantly, to raise awareness of the problems facing cotton farmers. If we bought more Fairtrade cotton garments we could be assured that those farmers are getting a much fairer deal. (More about that later this week).

Anyway the children and adults seemed to enjoy doing the bunting and it was definitely not a case of 'less is more' in fact the bunting, table and floor was awash with decorations, glue,felt etc!! As you can see the result was really good and soon those flags will be part of the record breaking attempt.
