PB4's flying from the shed across the globe.
It is incredibly time consuming actually physically getting a mag into the post but also the most satisfying fun you can have this side of sneezing, I LOVE it! I'm sorry that the process is slow, specially if you are still eagerly awaiting your copy of PB4.
But I'm in a groove now and I'm flying through them like a Henry Ford production line and will be finished in a day or two. Something amazing like one of these little beauties below will be coming to a letterbox near you SOON! Watch the skies!
And if you haven't ordered one I'd like a written explanation and a Doctor's note. Thank you.

PB4 HAS GONE TO THE PRINTERS!!
This may be the greatest creation since the wheel (8000 years BC) and the pop up toaster (1567 AD)
Use the 'Buy Now' button to order before stocks and the sands of time run out of the house and go live in a commune in Zagreb. Prices are €14 for Ireland and €15 for the rest of the world and include postage and packaging and a MIGHTY 12 track CD of music and spoken word.
I'll tell you more about the magazine when my eyeballs stop bleeding and exhaustion turns to euphoria.
Here's a taster! Illustrations from PB4 plus track by Laura Moody plus a few photos of my own.

Here's a taster from Ballymaloe
'When you step through the little wooden side gate and into the courtyard of Ballymaloe Cookery School you enter a different world. A world where the whole emphasis is on food - growing it, preparing it, cooking it, eating it and, crucially, enjoying it. A world that feels wonderfully cut-off because it is in the middle of ten acres of organic market gardens'
