Setting up for the good life...

This is a blog that will follow our journey to living 'The Good Life'.

I'm hoping this will be able to record our progress and encourage anyone else that is thinking of setting up a smallholding in the future.

Myself and my partner Chris moved in on the 28th August 2012 after spending the previous couple of years looking in and around Dublin for a property that could allow us to develop a smallholding where we could try and live a sustainable life.

Our aim is to grow and rear as much of our own food and convert our house into a more eco-friendly home over the next few years.
