		<title>Slow Beer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Slow Beer is surely a store after our own hearts, and when we heard about this craft beer shop we might have felt a nervous excitement bubbling up inside us like so much hops and malted barley. Just a tipsy hiccup from Hawthorn train station, Slow Beer are dedicated to promoting local micro-breweries, and they [...]]]></description>

		<title>July skies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Isn&#8217;t it a shame you can’t see the stars in the city? All those lucky sods out in the country get to enjoy the starry grandeur of the Milky Way spilled across the heavens. But for anyone in the city wanting to slow down and take in the night sky, there isn’t much to look [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter Solstice at the Farm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest drawbacks to winter – if you discount sniffly noses and frosty fingers – is that all us slow Melbournians are forced to hasten our days if we want to make use of the dwindling sunlight. But the good news is that, after the winter solstice (when we’re furthest away from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The game of Klop might just have the moves to supersede the clack of bocce balls on dried lawns this summer time&#8230; Hailing from Finland, woodsmen from the Finnish-Russian border are said to have started tossing logs because the sound of wood-hitting-wood scared off  the hungry bears.
Back in the &#8216;burbs, the rules of Klop [...]]]></description>

The word &#8216;dingbat&#8217; originally refers to to a character or symbol used in typesetting which gives an instruction to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going slow in Clapham</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following the lovely bursts of local insight into Brixton and Dalston, we&#8217;ve invited Hannah Wiltshire to share her favourite slow things about life in Clapham. Hannah is the founder of This is Your Kingdom, a delightful website that asks Londoners to share their favourite local things to do and see, so it&#8217;s no surprise she&#8217;s responded with [...]]]></description>
