At least that’s what I planned when I moved to the country 20 years ago – but somehow I brought it all with me – the same old workload as before. On my rare days off I found myself trotting back to the big smoke – a mere 2 hours away – and visiting my same old haunts to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

But now – another milestone – retirement – or semi anyway. Time to properly take in and savour my not-so-new-anymore surroundings – within, of course, the financial restrictions of my deliberately reduced circumstances. The idea of self sufficiency – at least to a degree – has always appealed and now there is the time to properly explore the possibilities.

Where to start? I guess this is it for today – having spent the rest of it immersed in the business plans of another client I couldn’t say no to. Tomorrow I’m off for a walk – all the way to the shops – where I’ll grab a salad and a coffee – and, oh yes, some some salad plants – I wonder if you can grow coffee beans in NZ?

Till next time. 🙂
