It’s a tradition, isn’t it? Setting out your stall in post one, I mean. Saying hello and explaining your manifesto, quirks and vested interests.

So, I should probably explain what this is all about. This week, I’ve sold my flat, and my offer on a small house, out in the ‘burbs near a river and a park has been signed and sealed. All being well, I should be moving there in a couple of months.

It’ll be the first time I’ve had a garden of my own, a greenhouse and some out-buildings, so it’s the first opportunity I’ve had to try and live properly green. With land I’ll have space to grow my own food. With a greenhouse I’ll have room to nurture seeds. With out-buildings I have space to make cheese and jam, and room to store food that I make myself, and wine and beer that I plan to brew.

It’s the first opportunity I’ve had to live properly green, and it’s the drive to that end that I’ll be detailing here, both inside and outside of the four walls of my home.

So come along for the ride; it’s sure to be fun.
