Picture
We count two teenagers in our number. Usually. Sometimes there are more, and sometimes fewer. But they are indisputably Here. And we also have visting woofers and volunteers, and a range of community members coming to rest, chill, potter, attend one of our short courses, and just build community. Awfully simple, really.

So: Two Teenagers. Limited energy. No Television. We must be completely barking. But it works. There's a distinct lack of teenager in the vegetable patch, but two extraordinary changes: they're probably the best teenagers in the country when it comes to switching off lights (they know there's a good reason to do so, as far as they're concerned - enlightened self interest ... ); and we have more than enough screenage with phones and laptops, plus the revered family film evenings we have where we all squish up on the sofa in a tangle of arms and legs, and have our own home cinema experience. Granted, it takes twice as long as  the film itself to agree on something we'll all like; but that, we reckon, is all part of it.

If you have thoughts, or comments, on how to grab a teenager and talk green, add them to the forum...
