Sounds like a nice idea.  Actually due to go to MK tomorrow so very timely indeed.  But rather worried about going off the beaten track in MK.  Have dreams of driving endless round MK and never getting home again.

Actually not far from Ikea so I can score two hits.

Would be nice to meet.  I'm the one with the bike hat and blue backpack.  Hope you can make it.

There is also Trumpington Seed Swap, which might be closer for you.  Been there twice and it is well organised and well attended.
