Where have I been...

So I've decided to give this blogging thing another crack!  The method to my madness is still the same.  My ideologies in regard to living a simpler life (the good life) in sustainable manner have not changed. However my journey has changed somewhat since my last entry.

I'm now living with my fiancé in a typical suburban household.  Four bedroom, bathroom and ensuite, decent size backyard (big enough to get my hands on) and a large front garden. Sounds spacious? Well we also have four children between us, aged 6, 8, 10 and 14. 

The youngest three, well I guess you could say, have not had the 14 years of experience of living with me, that my son has had.  They are certainly coming around to the idea that growing your own food, enjoying the outdoors (including collecting snails after a rainy day) and making food from scratch. Even my fiancé is coming around.

In the coming entries I'll share my carbon footprint as a family as it stands (scary) and try to work out a plan of attack. In the meantime I hope I can inspire and share some knowledge along the way xx
