Observations on chronology
2008 to 2011 : finding my feet, skilling up, getting involved in things that I thought were contributing to the Permaculture Ethics . Not much documenting as didn't really know how to do it!
2012: gain momentum after the Diploma gathering. Alas I have ripped pages out of journals to write up designs so they look bitty (will have to search through design folders and drop boxes for more info)
2013 - 2014: getting more of an idea how to document, by seeing other people's portfolios
Could be better: Put the date on my scribblings!
