Sheryl,
This is Joel from WellPreserved.
I wanted to take a few moments to thank yourself and TasteTO for supporting WellPreserved so often. The work you do is a tonne of gathering, writing and takes a lot of time and effort and I really appreciate you spreading the word for us - and so many others who do amazing stuff.
You really help many of us know what is going on and it's both humbling and exciting that you include us.
Thank you again,
Joel (writing from Glasgow, Scotland tonight :))
