By living in a minimalist way, this couple and their son are able to travel and explore in ways I think a lot of people just don't have the means to do. I am just glad they put a lot of pictures so I can live vicariously through them for an afternoon. Kudos to the photographer on that story.
Every few years I get this itch to travel. My life long dream is to visit London, although I have heard from enough MySpace friends who live over there that you need a very comfortable income to accomplish a decent visit, otherwise a person who has never made the trip before will be in for a terrible disappointment. Thing is, I fell in love with Great Britain after seeing a small film called 84 Charring Cross Road with Ann Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins. Small independent book sellers, sturdy wood tables displaying their wares at the doorway of their shops...ok so the romantic comes out of me in strange ways, the point is, for such a small book of a story (it is a book of letters between Helen Hanff and the procurer of her insatiable need for antiquarian books, Frank Doel), it brought out the travel want in me. See Mark & Co.
Self reliance for today consisted of picking some oranges and lemons off the trees out back and turning it into punch. Since the oranges are Moro red they give a nice pinkness to the lemonade.
I think about that yurt and its cozy wood stove sitting in the middle of the room. I think that would work out here if I had a plot of land and just plop my yurt in the middle of it.
Putting Yurt on my things to investigate list.
Blessings on a properous New Year!
