Editorial January 2009

Here we are again, a new year and a chance to make good on all those projects and dreams we failed to finish (or even start) last year!

But on a more pressing note, most of us are simply hoping to get to the next oh so important payslip, so to help keep the wolf from the door, there are some useful articles to peruse on general scrimping, saving fuel and ditching the car altogether by getting on your bike. And if in these dark months your thoughts turn to summer holidays, why not consider camping?

If you're looking to work off some of the Christmas excess, there are a surprising number of wild foods to gather, and for those who work the land there is still plenty to do on the plot, unfortunately.

After Christmas comes Easter, and the downsizer food weekend, which is shaping up to be a great weekends craic, and if you're quick there may still be accommodation available.

And don't forget, even if you're hibernating by the fire until spring there's always plenty going on in the forum.
