Benadu is actually¨Venado¨, or venison. It´s the accent.

Volunteer 1978
I was a volunteer on this kibbutz in the spring of 1978. I worked mainly in the fruit packing shed and in the orchard. The accommodation was basic but what a beautiful place and wonderful people. The experience was just what I needed at that time in my life. Happy memories which will stay with me always.

Greetings from Chiloe
Hi Liz, Hi Ram! I really enjoyed reading about your adventures here on the Island. Your walking sticks are here and ready to go when you pick them up the next time you come. Hope all the wooden pieces got safe to the UK. Your photos are great and they did bring a lot of memories, I had a great time myself! Hope to see you soon and if you need anything, just let me know. All the best, Cyril.

just lovely thank you
thoroughly enjoyed this. wonder if vonnie wants to pass by chiloe - with me - on her next return from aus... your mushroom shot. did you know it is called Fly Agaric. it is highly toxic in that it can send you tripping, you think you can fly. It grows in Lapland and that is why Santa Claus the flying red coated man with snow (white bits) on his cloak and beard is dressed the way he is. He and his reindeer - the bog standard equiv of cattle in Lapland 'fly' though the night sky in the perception of the lapland reindeer herders who have been nibbling on Fly Agaric. The reindeer also eat this fungus. interesting n'est-pa. liz, i have booked to do my glasto steward course at Priddy nr cheddar on fri 23rd april 6-30-9.30pm. why don't you apply for this date as well so we can go together. you'll be home by then and ensconced in murhill, did you get the date alternatives? ill email it to you again. do give it a go - it will be fun .lots love to you both x beth

Respect!
Reading about your bicycle event I really got a good feeling. It's really good! You proof that the image of the Middle East presented by the media as a place where everyday life is only about the conflict is so blatantly wrong. I hope to hear more like this when I travel to Israel with Charity Travel. I am looking for charities to support.
