This is my dream: To live as my forefathers once did - in harmony with the land that sustains us. A project to investigate and innovate the creation of a low impact home with methods of living in a form of permaculture designed to sustain my family and improve biodiversity. To leave the land richer than before and in doing so enable others to do so.
Planning...

I feel this can only be good news for my dream. It is time I feel to become a trend setter - to dream the undreamable and to think the unthinkable and most of all to do the impossible.Britain has tight rules on building new homes — which help account for Britian’s high house prices and pretty patchworks of green fields on the outskirts of big British cities.
But the UK’s population is swelling, putting pressure on housing space. Prime Minister Gordon Brown says he wants 3 million more homes by 2020, and all new build to be zero carbon from 2016 on.
Surely that plays into the hands of off-gridders seeking a life closer to Nature, where lunchbreaks entail a stroll in the woods rather than a frantic dash for an over-priced sandwich.
I have a plan. It is, as plans go, utterly insane, off the wall and completely without president and if it works it could pave the way for lots of people in the UK to live the dream. I will be asking for your support soon but for now all I ask is that you sign up for my feed (by email or by feed reader) so that you miss nothing.
Green living in the UK is about to get interesting.
This year I will attempt the impossible - subscribe so that you do not miss it.
