I have always liked the idea of living a self-sufficient lifestyle, however I also like the good things in life and find if difficult to reconcile the two. However now I realise that I don’t have to commit upon one way of life and forsake the other.

 

In this site I aim to detail my attempts to partake in providing what I can for my family in most ethical and simplest way possible by growing my own food, hopefully by making my own

WELCOME

wine and cordials, re-using and recycling, making clothes; by knitting or sewing, etc....

 

Some of these things I can already do, some of them will involve me learning, but this is where I will be recording both my successes and failures.

ABOUT THIS SITE

I have written a blog on and off for the last few years but started again about 6 months ago as somewhere to put my ideas down on paper (so to speak) so I would have a record of what I have achieved and still have to achieve.  Sometimes when you commit to your ideas in black and white you feel duty bound to fulfil your promises to yourself as you don’t want to feel a failure.  On the other hand if the ideas are just in your head they could stay there for a long, long time.....

 

I have enjoyed writing my blog but sometimes I feel that it doesn’t quite suit my purposes since I don’t just want a diary record, I want project lists, achievements, different areas for the different parts of my life, etc, etc and so I decided to go one step further and get my own site which hopefully I can maintain alongside my blog and then have places for all those life extras that I also want

 

I started this site May 2008 and therefore although this site will always be something of a work in progress since I intend to be adding to it with things that I learn, it will start off with quite a few articles or sections that only consist of titles as I have yet to write the information to fill them!  Therefore please come back and re-visit if you cannot find the information that you want at the moment since I will be updating the sections in due course.
