Returning after an extended hiatus!


Hi everyone (those of you who are still with me!), firstly I'd like to apologise for being so damned slack in the last year (I'd like to pretend it hasn't been that long) and not posting a single thing. Secondly, after having a personal break to get some perspective back in life, I'm ready to get back into this thing and get crackin'!

News from the last year: the wannabe hippy has moved on up (literally) in this world is now living amongst the mists and rainforests of Mt Tamborine in the Gold Coast Hinterland. "The green behind the gold" is blessed with rich volcanic soil, high rainfall levels, earthworms the size of snakes and an extended growing season due to the mild climate.

The community is very tight knit with a strong focus on relocalisation and conservation of the surrounding environment. Mt Tamborine has just become an official Transition Town and you can read more about that on their very own website here.

The vege gardens are still in the process of being built, although I am lucky enough to have a herb garden (more of a jungle), a "Thai/Indian" garden with ginger, turmeric, curry tree and a few asparagus and comfrey plants thrown in for good measure.

The much anticipated 'rescue hens' will be arriving on the 20th of this month. The poor little battery girls are whisked away from death row by a lovely group of people, to be rehomed to live out the rest of their days in luxury. I can't wait to meet them and start a mini photo blog of their progress.

That's about all for now, I hope everyone has had a safe and happy year and I look forward to reconnecting with you all again.
