Traveling on a train to Jutland from Cobenhavn and able to access the wifi. The cell phone I have is not taking nor sending calls for some reason. Going under the sea in a minute or two.
Wonderful isolated farms here are a sight to behold.
I am adapting to the trip without Michel but it does feel strange not to have him to visit with on a continual basis. I am allowing my son to talk when I take a rest from my workshops. People listen to him and so do I.
Michel knows what I mean when I have these "Lord, Help" moments...and I have had many of these.

What is simply amazing was our camaraderie and the fact we never got tired of each other, in fact growing on each other a lot. I am now in Canada, exhausted ( I did not sleep well for half the trip due to severe tooth aches) but I miss him . This kind of camaraderie was really showing up and we had a lot of fun. This thing tends to become contagious. There is a lot to be said for a couple of nerds having fun....nerding |

HEY, THANKS. I missed the forum a lot. HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES: The castle of LA BOURDAISIÈRE, where we went twice:   View from the room  Brussels City Hall, where we gave a conference: it is usually not open to the public and usually used for diplomatic visits:  Pamela, Tom, Anne Louise and me on LA GRANDE PLACE, the most beautiful square in the world:  Conference in the great room in Brussels:  Frank Van Keirsbilck:  Gent:    Tom, Hiven and her husband, and Els and Frank. Hiven came from Holland at Frank's place:  Morlaix, in Brittany, the old castle farm where we gave a workshop:  Tom and me discussing corn selection in Périgueux, in south western France:  Now giving a one afternoon workshop on tomatoes and potatoes:  Me and the first seed ''resistant'' they ever had in Périgueux...  Our little mansion in the Alps:  Tom with an olive tree in the Alps:  On my way to Nice, I bought some lil' real estate :  Alan Carter and Heidrun. Alan is the most important seed producer for Kokopelli, avec 350 varieties.  More later... |

It is so great that you guys were able to share knowledge with our friends across the pond. It seems they were very pleased to have you. I don't think your timing could have been better for them. I wish I could have tagged along.
The pictures are wonderful. And how cool to meet other forum members in person! Again, wish I could have been there, too.

These are the pics for the upcoming Homegrown/Hipgnosis book, right? Hint hint hint...
Take care of your teeth, Michel, and PM me when you get the chance.
