Over this weekend we’ve almost finished transferring over the hand written diary entries so with only a few left to do we felt that it wouldn’t hurt to open it up, web 2 beta style. A custom theme is planned so we can then ditch this default blog theme.

Our current status is that we’ve applied and been accepted as stage 1 members of a community in Cornwall and that we’re going to spend as much time as we can down there between now and September 2009 prior to becoming full members in time for the start of the kid’s school year.

In terms of what this blog will contain we plan to have brief diary entries for both of us as we tackle community living, learning oodles of new skills and get used to what is inevitably going to be a harder life; links to things we’ve discovered or reviews of books we’ve read and also more formal articles where we’ll offer more detailed commentary and opinion.

We’re nervous about what we’re letting ourselves in for but also excited that we’re about to start a big new adventure.

Hopefully we won’t screw up.
