B...Thank you all for the lovely congratulations!!!<br /><br />Bridget they do, one of my examiners was from northern Ireland :)<br /><br />Janet, Orkney does ship it's waste to the heat plant in Shetland. Willow is indeed very cool :) and you're right about driving in Orkney, many a sheep on the road :)<br /><br />Cheri you always say such sweet things xxx<br /><br />Kim thanks!<br /><br />Mrs bok, sft, and Janet thank you also, so lovely to be finished, although I've just opened an email saying, "ok now, how about we right some papers....." I feel it's not over yet!!<br /><br />Elephants eye, it's a quite new fuel but common in Sweden, uk and a few other countries, generally as a direct fuel for renewable heat or as a co-firing fuel.<br /><br />Jts, scot ad roads and sheep are like coffee and cream aren't they, go together nicely :)<br /><br />B-a-g ta muchly, not a lot of folk are so obsessed with willow, so not your fault, when you work at it for four years, you forget that 'normal' folk don't see it every day!!<br /><br />Anne the socks definitely helped.<br /><br />Shaz thank you :) xx hope the willow talk was fun :)<br /><br />Jenny - phew indeed!!!!<br /><br />Dreamer you've been with us all the way, thank you :)<br /><br />Sian glad you like the quote, very true for Orkney!<br /><br />Robyn - hurrah indeed :)Fay McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573998704716650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-60800945268119742302011-07-02T23:56:27.869+01:002011-07-02T23:56:27.869+01:00Well done you!

Couldn't understand why they didn't use it to heat homes in Orkney.<br />Where would we be without willow? (especially in Orkney) Good luck with your project and congratulations.<br />PS I learnt to drive in Orkney (had to really it's a long walk into kirkwall)and the worst thing you could meet was a flock of sheep, a tractor or the odd boy racer...Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999513105724635810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-84681069145808635882011-06-30T17:01:37.295+01:002011-06-30T17:01:37.295+01:00what can I add to the congratulations?
