What we have been up to :

Received an email from Mike Moore, asking what we had been up to and what the next step should be. Here is my response.

Hi Mike,

We've been selling our souls in advertising (I am an agent and my partner is a photographer) and we have been planning our "exit strategy" from London.

We're opening a bed and breakfast in the Hunter Vallery - completely self sufficient in power and water and eventually in food wine and beer.

Come and stay.

I'd like to do something more but city life is killing me. So we are reading Gore Vidal and Naomi Klein and complaining loudly about working for multi nationals. Not ideal.

We're going to be full fee paying subscribers to the Slow Movement in 2 years which will give us time to do some other stuff like teach self sufficiency. It's a small thing and a bit elitist, but it is our best option and we'll be a carbon neutral couple. It's something at least, right?

I suggest the next step for you would be to meditate, talk to friends, do whatever you have to do work out how to influence people to give a shit in deed not just word.

Thanks for changing things for everyone.
Rebecca and Julian.
