Today, Tonight Tomorrow

I admit to being very slack on the update front in the last few months. Trev and I both have our heads down and bums up as we race towards the housing building finish line.

I could detail the progress but if you hook into tomorrow nights Today Tonight on Channel 7 you'll get to see us shivering on an icy Tasmanian morning, pretending not to look embarrassed about the state of our winter garden which is also suffering from neglect of the house obsessed variety. Also get to meet the pigs, the goats, the lambs and the chooks, and a quick squiz at the inside view of the house and hear us blather on a bit.

With a silly little embarrassed smile she hits publish post and shambles away.

Wow, your new home is looking fantastic. Great work.
I purchased a copy of your book 'Living the Good Life' at a local opshop last year, and reading it has provided plenty of inspiration for dreams and hopefully one day reality. Thankyou. x

Hi Linda, I just wanted to send you a quick note to say I absolutely love your book Living the Good Life. I stumbled across it on an op-shop browse. I had no idea at the time what a gem of a book I held in my hand. I struggled to put your book down, you are an excellent writer and I must confess I was sad when I came to the end of it and I wanted to read more. I have been trying to read other books since and none of them stack up to your book, so I think I shall have to read it again. It has given us many practical ideas to apply to our lives, and the courage to try new things. I have even dusted off my bike to bike my boy the 9kms into kindy. My husband who just nods as I tell him all my grand ideas but isn't entirely into the eco side of life as I am, read a few pages of your book and had nothing but praise for your engaging writing. He's going to read your book soon...and he's now in the middle of planning for his first solar panels and tanks for rainwater collection for the garden. I'll stop gushing now lol, I just wanted to say thank you for writing an awesome book, which I know I will be referring to constantly for ideas in our quest towards more eco friendly and self-sufficient(ish) living. Thanks Linda, Trev and Caleb :) Regards, Ruth and Matt in NZ
