Hi Richard,
I confess I have been lurking around and enjoying your site for a very long time. Watching it develop in such an excellent way has been an inspiration.
My own experience is certainly not similar to yours but you have inspired me to offer my own wisdom on a kind of parallel topic. The result is that I have just begun a modest blog - http://dowhatyouwanttodo-justdoit.blogspot.com/ - in which I have included a link to Down the Lane. Hope that’s OK?
Your new blog is good too - I wish I was 60 again!
Best wishes, Doug

Thank you so much for some sensible information. İ live in Turkey and have never kept chickens before - now we have about 60 of mixed varieties. Far too many İ know!!! Your site has reassured me that İ am doing most things right

Fantastic sight. I too am a victum of ageism and downsizing. Now live on small farm,wife City Gal, loves it, except she is still afraid of the bears and coyotees. I forgot what values were chasing $ as we all have done. I am at peace and at home once again, your site is so inspirational, thank you.

Great site Richard, brings us back down to earth and makes us remember what really matters (not the falseness of consumerism). We are about to take the plunge ourselves after redundancy a year ago (got another pressurised job immediately but the process makes you re-evaluate what is important). So we are downshifting to a smaller house in wiltshire to be mortgage free and will be looking for less demanding jobs to return the balance to our lives. Your site has been very inspirational, thankyou.

A very inspirational site; has given me loads of good information about downshifting. Not an easy lifestyle to achieve and maintain. I would take my hat off to you, but don`t wear one as a female, lol. Wishing you a happy life and successful continuation of your site.

Love this site and would really like to sign up, contribute, chat, annoy someone maybe, BUT - I can’t sign in!! All is well until I arrive at the “Confirm Code” arae. I have tried about 10 times but I am always told I have entered it incorrectly. Now, I have be having senior moments laft and right but surely I’d get it right once? Any trick to sorting this one out??
