The promised info about the tree-planting event: http://treeday.planetark.com/

I am rather keen on planting fruit trees...

I am sad that I no longer live in Tassie because this date is my birthday. However as my  heart belongs in Hobart, I will be with you in spirit. I hope many of you Taaie rawbies can get together and celebrate! 

Hi Laura, on the cold front... I first wanted to go raw when I lived in warm Brisbane and working at an organic shop which (at that time) had Brissie's largest range of organic produce. Still I didn't make it and fell back into cooked vegan food for a couple of years. What is actually working for me, a lifelong Queenslander, is eating raw in the middle of a Hobart winter with the right information and plenty of motivation. If you are motivated and have the right information (Ihighly reccommend reading Doug Graham's the 80/10/10 Diet), your circumstances won't define your success. Eating raw food I have plenty of energy to excercise and that helps to keep me warm. I accept things more and see the beauty of the weather more. Raw food doesn't have to be icy either - I tend to take any food in the fridge out a few hours before I eat it as it tastes better at room temp. At first you may be craving hot drinks and foods in cold weather but I think this is largely habitual. If you stick with it, as Jacana said a healthier body will feel the cold less.

Thanks Gosia for the tree planting info! I have been looking around at the fruit trees in nurseries and thinking about what I can do.

I would love to come along on the 3rd! Sounds fantastic! Let me know if there is anything I could do to help it happen. A daytime event would be best for me.

Hello my Tassierawbies I will be there with bells on  Looking forward to seeing you all again! Happy days

Woohooo!

I'm sorry you can't make it Patricia, it will definately not be quite the same without your precious self

I hope I can make it to your house in October, I think the 11th might be better for me. I'll be in touch.

Sending you lots of love and I look forward to catching up with you! Take care dear Patricia.
