| Introduction | We're aiming for the Good Life -since I got made redundant I've tried to embrace the opportunity to start up my handmade textile business Treehuggery. We're also busy doing up a wreck of a house; in a proper attempt to leave the ratrace behind, we've bought an old cottage in a village in Nottinghamshire, its got space for an allotment and for workshops for both of us. We're not quite living the dream yet, but we're working on it! |
