I am a Druid, (Mad Druid, my wife would say, but that's OK, I can live with that, she is my Weird Witch after all so I guess it's a case of the kettle calling the pot cauldron black). I live in Cornwall, the land of myth, magic and mists. It is hard not to be inspired here, with beauty all around.
I jumped off that great trundling treadmill that is work/life inbalance a few years ago after my health finally gave me one scare too many and my wife, in her infinite wisdom, said 'do you think someone's trying to tell you something?'
Such as?
Oh! You mean SLOW THE F*** DOWN!!!
Hmmmm. Maybe.
And so, with nothing more than a head full of dreams, a car full of stuff and the knowledge that we were both as mad as each other, we turned our backs on our busy but normal London lives, and set out on the adventure of a lifetime with no safety net except each other. And you know how it is with these things, if it could go wrong, it did, but then nothing that is worth having comes easy, and together we are indestructible, so with my witch by my side we eventually made it to our place by the sea.
Now I am blessed to have the freedom to enjoy the land I live in, to work with it's bounty, to live my dream.
