Big Hello from Berkshire

Post: # 235093Post keresen »

Hello from urban Berkshire!

I am very interested in learning about how to be more self sufficient and to develop skills that can enhance my creativity to bypass the consumerism trap. Living in the most over populated corner of the country really is taking its toll out of me, the urban hell of traffic jams, 24 hour supermarkets, the lack of community, rudeness, rushing, boredom, lack of patience, the gross waste of junk, food, non bio degradable rubbish.. Its enough to make you sick but... This is my reality,and you have to be realistic. it is scarily easy to become dependent on this way of living but there is another way of life, and hopefully with time it can florish here :)
Look forward to "meeting" you. :)

Hi there and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hi and welcome from neigbouring Wiltshire. This place is the perfect antidote to the stresses of consumerism.

My friends find my selfsufficientish ways funny, but I'm the one who has the last laugh.
