The first delicatessen of the season came and went and seemed to be quite the success. Good crowd right from the start and all three acts were well received. Particularly of course Julie Lee and ’the axis of evil’. Steve’s recorded his version of the history of the axis and I have a few photos for your viewing pleasure.

And while all that was keeping us in Reading busy, the Earth Summit drew to a close much as we expected it to. The responses none of the NGOs wanted to have to release but I’m sure most expected to have to release are around. FOE sum it up pretty well, as did the guardian.
