We’ll this is me.

I’m Louise, married, 5 children (2 grown up) living in rural Norfolk in the East of England.

My whole life has been spent fitting in with other people’s dreams but I’m 50 next year so, if I want to live a more fulfilled life -for me- I’d better get on with it!

I have been thinking for ages that I would like to live a lighter, more sustainable life, reducing the amount of stuff I  own and accumulate, using less of the earth’s valuable resources and attempting to become nearer to a self sufficient lifestyle.

So this blog is a record of what I’m doing to get there, what I’m learning on the way, the obstacles I meet and how/if I manage to overcome them.
