Our Pioneer Home is about to become even more Pioneer!
Its a block of land
GULP!!!
We have been dreaming and looking and tinkering with the idea for years and years. The idea to move south had been the plan for a long time. But each time we tried to look dream think, it just never seemed to work out. I personally do not want to be close to Auckland as I feel the tension from it...its so fast (I know other countries are faster). But there are many towns we looked at that are out of Auckland but still we just couldn't seem to bring it into the dream.
Some of our needs have grown with children but over all they have not changed. So this property needed to work with us on that.
Dave loves his job
I love my jobs
Kids love playing outside and learning and being with friends.
We all love the bush and being able to walk though it when we would like. Right from when DD9 was a baby I have loved this part of town and the access to the bush walks and would often pack her into her backpack and head off for a tramp/hike. Its really amazing that there is these huge areas of bush with walks in the middle of town.
And now we get to be a part of that....and have a little of that bush on our place too.
For years Dave and I have educated our selves and collected books on Eco living so now we'll be able to start putting some of these things into practice.
This is not going to be quick...we're going to take it slowww and enjoy the process.
For a few years we will straddle the two places getting to know the grounds and ways of the block...begin some plantings and shape some idea.
Re-vegetate has been our key here at our current home and will also be for this block.
Permaculture had been a dream of ours for as long as we've been dreaming together but we've really only just starting putting names to what we've been working towards. Food forests and food production.Home Education will be a part of all these project for our children.
Its all about us
