		<title>Moving to Wales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Since deciding to leave our current home we&#8217;ve been under some pressure to find somewhere to live that is affordable, has land, possibly space for our neighbours (so we can share the load and not feel so isolated) and ideally a woodland nearby.
We&#8217;ve looked at a lot of properties, 100s online and then a fair [...]]]></description>

		<title>Woodland Wanted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a huge disappointment over the weekend.
32 acres of woodland came up in Pembrokeshire on Thursday afternoon. Friday 8:30am straight after the kids were on the school bus we drove up there (after calling the agent to check it was still on) by 2:30pm I was stomping around it thinking where I could put a green [...]]]></description>

		<title>Game Ending Issues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I read with some dismay yet another polarised argument about climate change between a &#8216;denier&#8217; and a &#8217;scaremonger&#8217;. Irrespective of my own view of the subject &#8211; which incidentally comes down firmly on the side of pragmatism. I don&#8217;t give a monkey&#8217;s if I&#8217;m proved wrong in 20 years time; let&#8217;s not take [...]]]></description>

		<title>Long overdue update (and plans for 2010)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello and Happy New Year.
Firstly an apology is due. We have been rather quiet of late mostly because we&#8217;ve been doing rather than thinking which has made a refreshing change but as I sit here with the kids gaffer taped up in the corner after a 4th day off school because of the light snow [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Graduate School of the Environment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got back from the first of my Renewable Energy MSc modules at The Centre for Alternative Technology and I&#8217;m feeling pretty blown away but utterly inspired in equal measure.
7 days straight studying, eating, sleeping and drinking with 79 really smart people that have a wide range of backgrounds covering a broad age spread. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Care in our community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have a neighbour who is a lovely lady called Beryl. She is the elderly auntie of one of the people who first bought the farm we live at almost two and a half years ago. Beryl is in her late eighties and in a wheelchair but lives here instead of in a old people&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harvest time food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since our move here two weeks ago we&#8217;ve been enjoying the communal cooking and eating aspect hugely. It was one of the things I was looking forward to but I was also nervous about cooking for so many.
It feels a bit cheeky to have arrived at a time when there is a huge abundance of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Settling in to intentional community life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I will try to make this a quick update as I&#8217;m hoping to get some more sleep before the night is over having been up since 3.30 with too much on my mind to sleep.
The children and I have been having a wonderful time here on the farm since we arrived 8 days ago. We&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;re all very excited but also sad to be saying farewell to some of the most lovely people [...]]]></description>
