Re: dipping into stocks and improving attitudes!

Thanks so much all! All in all - it was a success in so many ways and a real motivator that what we're doing isn't nonsense! OH's got the fishing gear out organising it today and we'll be building a smoker over the summer - another way to combat the protein dearth.
