What do I have to talk about here that I didn&#8217;t nine years ago?<\/p>\n<p>Well to cut a long story short, I&#8217;m a different person, and rather then write about the random things in my life, I want to put into words the things that have, and are, motivating me to change the way I live. \u00a0I want to make the world a better place.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m not talking about revolution here, I&#8217;ll leave that to the idealists out there who are better equipped for that. \u00a0I just want to make sure that when I look back on things I leave this world in the best way I can.<\/p>\n<p>As for why now, well a few months back I was out looking at some eco houses and talking to the people there. \u00a0It turned out that not only am I not alone in thinking we need to change the way we live, but people were genuinely interested in what I had to say and the changes we have made to our lives.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll write a proper entry on the <a href=\"http:\/\/ttworthing.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Transition Town Worthing<\/a>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/worthing.greenopenhomes.net\/worthing-eco-open-houses-148\" target=\"_blank\">Eco Open Houses<\/a>\u00a02016 event at some point. \u00a0Suffice to say I was inspired and this site\/blog is one of the outcomes from that.<\/p>\n<p>What do I have to offer? \u00a0Well the interesting thing about the Eco Open Houses event was that people have levels of expertise they have developed. \u00a0The house where they had a plumbing background had the most amazing water and heating system. The house with the gardening background had all sorts of amazing ideas for eco gardening. \u00a0As for me, I&#8217;m a techie. \u00a0I hope I can bring a tech knowledge to these pages.<\/p>\n<p>Lets be honest here, in the last few\u00a0years I met the Love of my Life and then was blessed to have a daughter. \u00a0One day I suddenly realised, I can&#8217;t keep screwing about, because when I am gone, she will still be here to live with\u00a0my legacy. \u00a0And like any loving parent, I want her to inherit the world, not the ashes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here it is, my return to blogging, nine\u00a0years after I stopped writing last time.
