It is official.
2015 is going to be the year for us.
The year for us.
After many, many years of talking and planning and dreaming about it, and more than a year of preparing the house for selling, the ball has finally been moved from its rock steady spot and is rolling.
We have cleared out and started packing up.
We have found somewhere in Ireland that we all really, really love and is absolutely perfect for our downshifting, self-sufficient plans.
Our house is on the market and we are oh-so-ready, oh-so-willing and oh-so-very-very-able to go!
We’ve got so many plans to share with you in words, pictures and videos too and this is the year!
It’s scary, exciting, daunting and nervewracking. It’s going to be a year of big changes, of new experiences and learning new things.
It’s finally here! We’re not just talking any more – we’re doing!
2015 – we are so going to own you!
This is going to be our year.
Will you join us on our journey?
Wow, brilliant stuff! I hope the whole move goes incredibly well for you.

Good luck Tania Sullivan it sounds great x
I know Janet, but we might actually be closer to you from there than we are from here… almost! Thank you, Zena! Can’t believe it’s almost ten years since you left England!
How fabulous and exciting Tania Sullivan. Will look forward to all the details 🙂 x
I know, cant believe it myself. Hope u enjoy Ireland as much as I love living here on this barmy island. X
That’s amazing news, how exciting. I have been thinking of doing that myself, city life sometimes gets a bit to much.
What’s the new place like and where in Ireland?
We’re not saying too much yet as don’t want to tempt fate. Once everything is finalised we’ll let you know!
Wow! Really exciting times ahead. Can’t wait to hear about your Irish adventures! X
Can’t wait to get them started, Jennie! Thanks, Zena!
Gosh, I remember you talking about this 10 years ago and now it’s happening! Good luck to you all, you should be proud, not many people make their dreams a reality xx
I know, Danielle! I don’t think people believe us when we say how long we’ve been planning this. I remember us planning it all when Harry was a baby and he’s 12 now! It’s not like we haven’t been patient!
Congratulations I remember when I first saw the programme, I was childless then, thinking why would they want to be like that, why not just live “normally” three children later and now I really do get it! And want some for us too! Congratulations on getting to your next big step in life hopefully our family may not be too far behind
Thank you Mallerie, and thanks also for briefly sharing your story! I hope your family follows soon!
Oh how exciting! I can hardly wait to see pics and great all about this special place in Ireland!
Fingers crossed the sakes hours to plan.
I think autocorrect meant ‘sale goes’ so thank you!
I just found you via Older Single Mum and I’m definitely joining you. Good luck with everything.
It’s great to ‘meet’ you and good to have you on board too! Looking forward to getting to know you.
