All change…

I’m moving!
After nearly thirty years of being a blow-in Dub, I’m becoming a blow-in culchie instead.
I’ve always wanted to design and build an eco-friendly house, I’ve long wanted to be involved in community horticulture and outreach, I love the idea of a community where skill swapping is a realistic possibility—and much, much more.
So where can I do all this?
Cloughjordan Eco Village, a new project in North Tipperary which is quite simply FAB.
It’s on a beautiful site to start with
I’ve been thinking about it for a while since a friend and client told me about it, and yesterday I put the first deposit on a site. Yes, really!
The next step is to get the house in Dublin up for sale (yes I know, but the estate agent was optimistic, and it is a great house) and start organising it all.
I’m so excited!
More info on the project, and the hows and whys of it all, coming soon – and for better or worse I’ll be writing here about the trials and tribulations of getting it up and running. Woohoo!
So watch this space. :)

This is an amazing adventure, something I would like to do as well. I can’t wait to hear more as you go on with it.

Definitely an eco party in due course! (Knit your own beer?) Thanks for the comments, guys – you two here and others on twitter. Didn’t think the techy heads would be so interested! You’ll all be bored by the end… :)
