Making the move from Big-City-life to a small seaside village, next to a salt water lagoon, was always our dream. When our son left home for university, we finally decided to take the leap.
Husband has to drive the 100km to work every day, but does so through the West Coast National Park (www.sanparks.co.za/parks/west_coast) with a variety of indigenous buck, tortoises and ostriches causing peak hour traffic, in stead of thousands of other commuters. I can work from home most days and drive with him when I need to be in Cape Town for meetings. This gives us an extra two hours together in the car, which is great for focused communication and crochet projects.
Our lifestyle change is significant and I will write about our experiences, in my very simple Lagoon Style, to share our triumphs and tribulations. You might be thinking of doing something similar in the near future and I hope to shed some light on how it is working for us and what you could expect. I will also share my love for Merino wool, crafts, the arts and local flavours at the same time. 'Local is Lekker', as we say here at the West Coast.
