Sailing over the first hurdle

The first step in getting the meadow started was to get permission from the council (it's their land after all). To be honest, I was expecting to spend hours being shunted back and forth across the phone system, or days trying to disentangle myself from all the red tape.

In short, I thought it'd too hard. Too strange. Too much work. But is was none of those things. In fact, the people at Hackney Council loved the idea and couldn't wait to offer their help or support.

So we've got past the first hurdle. Sailed over it in fact. The next step is to present the idea to everyone else at the Mabley Green Users Group. Then if that goes well, we'll be all set.
