I'm sure a few in here relate to the story described in the article.

How permaculture inspired a couple from Yorkshire to move to France, renovate a derelict building & create a sustainable lifestyle, connected to the land & nature.
"We create our own reality through our beliefs, thoughts, attitudes and our behaviour. Although it can be difficult, it is possible to choose to change at any moment and to begin a new life which you love."
Tom and Ann Algie left their mainstream lives and moved to southwest France to create a permaculture lifestyle. This is how permaculture inspired them.
