I've only read a little bit of it but was so interested in reading your comments about downshifting. Since my husband took early retirement, we have in a way downshifted, ie taken stock of finances and our way of life (which is a simple, enjoyable one anyway). I agree with what you said about the "Give up News" bit. In fact reading people's blogs is much more uplifting when you see what extraordinary things ordinary people are doing. What a lovely blog this is. I’ve only read a little bit of it but was so interested in reading your comments about downshifting.

It seems like a very short time ago I was writing to Sheila at happyFamily.org.uk saying exactly the same thing. I hope it works out for you. Stay in touch if you are able as its really great to be able to share downshifting comments with others doing similar things. Thanks so much for your lovely comment.
