Welcome to my blog....

Hello there,

I'm very new to the world of blog so please be kind to me.

It's called the good life after a crazy 70's bbc show with the same name.

The show was based around 2 neighbours in an English city. One lot of neighbours had quit their jobs in order to become self sufficient. The other neighbour continued their usual city lifestyle but were always there to interact and support the self sufficient couple when needed.

It was one of the first shows our family used to watch when we eventually got tv when I was about 6. They were re-runs by then so stop trying to work out my age!

While I know I'll never be able to be completely self sustainable in this mixed up earth we live in- I strongly believe in wasting as little as possible and living simply.

Yeh I know that means I should grow my arm pit hair and move to the commune but I just like my power and shower too much!

But in saying that I have simplified my life a lot in the last 12 months.

I quit my job, I grow lots of vegetables, I help my husband with the cattle property, I am teaching the kids myself through distance education, I now have hobbies/interests and a sort of social life!

And I have ideas and plans for the future.........................
