I found you via Sophie Nicholls on Twitter. I love your sentence: "Throw in a little baking, some marketing expertise and a lot of magic and you’ll start to get to the bottom of what turns me on." We're abandoning our cubicles and moving to self-employment in the Perthshire countryside in July. I'm so excited about becoming location independent and living where we want to live because it's beautiful and makes us happy. I'm off to check out your creative site now. Nicola Hi Julie

Off to have a good old read, looks to be some nice useful information here for us! We're trying to do our bit, but falter frequently along the way for one reason or another. But each tiny step is one in the right direction! Not sure we'll manage something as grand as our own power at our current abode but it's in the future-plan!! Susi x Hi Julie

She noted that you and I share a lot of common interests. "Separating out each of the individual elements of my life would take about a million blogs." Yes, I often find bloggers who have separate blogs for this and that, and it just does not make any sense to me. I think you are wise to not separate out the various aspects of your "organikal" life. Mine is simply a food blog, so obviously I don't get into all the other green-living stuff that I do. I just focus on the food, demonstrating the deliciousness of foods that are organic and sustainable, produced with as little harm as possible to the planet and the workers involved. PS Would love to be off the grid! Hello Julie

Please do link to the article, of course. More than happy to do something specific for you as well :-) Great to hear you're managing to run your business from remote locations. Our day business has it built into the <a href="http://www.peoplemaps.com/home/peoplemaps-philosophy/" rel="nofollow">philosophy</a> which is very cool! Thanks Lois!

What a lovely, relaxed feature - well done, esp. to Ruaridh, an living advertisement for home schooling and life on the move. I had read the article you featured in in the Guardian a couple of weeks ago and your name rang a bell. I would love to link to your article on your experiences of discussing home swapping on live TV in a post on our blog. I look forward to following your next adventures. My son has recently started his travelling adventures, starting in Bangkok. We now run Home Base Holidays as partners and, with Skype and sharing work online, it's hardly any different than working together in London - good to get up in the morning and see Mark's already been busy checking email and working! Cheers Lois Hi Julie
