dinner plans have changed

so ... we were in for the all up day's worth of meals.

well ... that's gonna have to change now ... please bear with us.  you see ... our dream has come true.  my IT geek of a hubby has landed an exec IT job in rural NSW.  so we are moving far, far away ... to commence our bush life in absolute glory.  so dinner is gonna have to wait.

short term we'll live in a rental in Casino (hubby will be a sr lvl IT exec at Southern Cross Uni), until we find the land to buy and reclaim.  so it will be patio boxes and aquaponics till we get settled.

J&J ... you should drop over and have a yarn with hubby about aquaponics before you throw the baby out with the bath water.  he went to a DIY course and it all makes easy sense to him.  speaking of which ... i have some propogating stuff, pots n plants n compost ... willing to part with some if you are inclined!  just send me a private email.

we will stay very interested in this blog and continue to participate ... i'm just afraid it's not gonna happen as soon as we had anticipated!

our journey in earnest can be followed at http://www.backwardssimply.blogspot.com ....

  1. awwwwwwww, your leaving...but to a better place... its one of those happy sad moments. Not to worry, it sounds as though you are both about to embark on an amazing adventure, a dream come true. We definately want to catch you before you guys go. we will send you an email with our details.
    ps. Think its hilarious that you are still going to set up the aquaponics while you rent! you will probably end up on a current affair in one of those tennants from hell cover stories.
    J&J :(/:)

  2. hahaha! hubby said not to mention that we are doing the aquaponics to the real estate agent as they might think we are doing it to grow a special smokin' weed! haha! ironically, the guy who lead the aquaponics course that hubby went on actually rents ... so i think that is what inspired him.
    i'm also putting the word out too ... if you know of anyone who is into sustainable / permie gardening and is looking for a place where we would give them heaps of opportunity (including keeping chooks if they wanted!) ... let me know. we're keeping this place as a rental ... 4 bed 2 bath on about 950 squ mtrs .... and all ready to be planted out for spring!

  4. Maggie, hi. We have a fiend who would be interested in finding out some more information about your home if it is still available. They are a young family looking at relocating from katoomba to this area, we are both teaching at the same school. Hope all the plans are going well, joe
