Knockdrinna Cheese<\/a>, through the use of Twitter and Facebook.\u00a0 When you’re new to networking you tend to look for people to follow, and often start with local people and businesses.\u00a0 I don’t buy newspapers and I avoid the daily news now whenever possible – its way too negative. So\u00a0I choose all the news I want to hear through Twitter, and wouldn’t have heard of the food camp at all if it hadn’t been from this media.<\/p>\nAs I’ve become\u00a0aware of these local\u00a0‘artisan’ suppliers I actively look out for their products and tell friends and family about them too, suggesting that other friends and contacts follow and look out for\u00a0them.<\/p>\n
There are many more points I could make and lots of scribbles in my notebook too of ideas and observations, but maybe that’s for another day.<\/p>\n
In the meantime I\u00a0want to congratulate the organisers of this festival first of all for the great organisation on the day and choice of venue, and secondly for inspiring me again.<\/p>\n
Even with the most positive attitude and the best will in the world, after a while all the doom and gloom seems to filter through, however much you try to avoid it.\u00a0 Today however was spent with positive people who are actively trying to improve their situations. People who are proud of their products and their food-producing communities and who want to help and work with each other. I hope that other towns and cities throughout Ireland will come up with similar ‘camps’ to get people talking and working together again. Ireland really needs it right now.<\/p>\n
And lastly I hope\u00a0that\u00a0all this positivity will\u00a0carry me through the next week of the school holidays, and on throughout the year!<\/p>\n
