Being Somewhere

Interesting things are going on in West Wales. Americans think they have the edge on building funky homes from straw and sticks, but we have nothing on these folks.

Simon and Jasmine Dale have created a little hand built paradise for themselves and their two kids. Very concerned about living a life in harmony with the land, they started ten years ago building a tiny shack they called the Hobbit Hole. Since then they've moved on, buying seven acres in the Lammas eco village project.

As they write in their blog:

"Only three generations ago most of us had ancestors living in the countryside and were skilled in woodwork, plants, craft, weaving and so on. Like many people, we wished to reclaim these ways and return to having a direct relationship to the land, do things for ourselves, enjoy a high standard of living and have fun."

Sounds good to me. Here's a link to their blog, Being Somewhere.
