[Ellie Stoneley]

I would second that ...

just fyi - I have 'tweeted' about this and the meeting tonight from @FofSC
the Friends of Stourbridge Common twitter account and also featured it on
our new website please could you note the new website address ... forward me
links to your sites as you would like and any other local news you would
like including

good luck tonight - I can't make it due to long standing commitment but
would add my voice to those already shouting about trees going out of
fashion and so on ... there are not enough trees in Cambridge as it is

all the best

The story of my Madagascar adventure - how a trip to the theatre 2 days
after I came out of hospital in January 2010, led to being thwarted by a
volcano in April and a trip to face giant, huge and enormous spiders, a
police mutiny, being attacked by a leech, broken down trucks and crying with
sadness at the plight of so many - and in doing so helping people living in
extreme poverty in one of the poorest countries of the world.
