Brilley is one of those "blink and you miss it" villages. It doesn't have a shop or a post office or a pub; it used to have a school, but I think that's been closed down now. What it does have, in spite of these handicaps, is a great community spirit - and great environmental awareness.
Hence Brilley Mountain Eco, the group which is having a meeting in the village hall (they still have one of those!) on Monday 25th February at 7.30pm.
Bobbie Hadley, the Hereford Council (I presume that's what HC stands for) Strategy and Development Officer, will talk about the best way to cope with our rubbish.
Maureen Richardson will talk about the Rubbish Collectors of Cairo - mostly Christian people who make their living by sifting through the vast rubbish heaps to find anything at all that is worth recycling.
(Maureen Richardson is a paper maker of great skill and artistry, and she lives in a turf roofed, self-built house in Brilley.)
Finally, Richard of Wiggly Wigglers will "take the mystery out of" Composting and Wormeries.
And there's a free goodie bag for everyone.
(Well, we have to make our own fun round here)
Seriously, though, it sounds like an interesting evening.

I hope you enjoy your talk by Richard (and the goodie bags)! Richard is very entertaining and I am sure he will give you a good insight into all types of composting.
Sadly, I won't be able to go - no transport - but I'm sure I'll get a good report from at least one person who'll be there.
