Well, vegswap was on the telly last night – BBC 1 Spotlight (local news in the southwest). I have finally achieved my 15 minutes (ok, 30 seconds) of fame! Sue (vegswap founder) introduced her reasons for starting vegswap; about how she saw her apples fall to the ground and lie there rotting as she didn’t have enough time to deal with them all and how she came up with the idea to swap her apples with produce that other people had an abundance of. I did my ‘gardeners’ world’ bit: walk on nonchalantly, dig up some spring onions and walk off left... I even had a speaking part which brought tears to my eyes when I watched it on the night – do I really talk like that?! Our friend Rebecca talked about being a vegswap ‘swapper’ and how easy it was to use the site. I thought it was a really good piece and all our swappers will now be in the limelight. I hope you’ve polished your apples!
Oh, and by the way, if you happened to miss it, the whole interview will be put on the website soon...
