"Hey there. Heartwood has two houses based in Christchurch (Chippenham and Mansfield) and Gricklegrass in Oxford. So if you are looking for a city place there is that as an option also. The best of both world, in my opinion. Peace Meaghan."

One part of me is drawn to join an established community, the other part of me is ready and passionate to build a new community house/space/family in Christchurch. I think Christchurch needs many more, just popping up like mushrooms all over, all different flavours of homes, people, goals, desires. So I guess there is the 'heartwood' call - to established, and then the ,new seed' call, which honestly is calling strongest to my heart at the moment. Thanks so much for your comments. It would be nice to meet sometime. Kowhai

I'm still building up a client base with my design business here in Christchurch, probably for another year or two...I'd love to live in the country one day though, probably when I have kids at some point. Enjoy it out there, all the best. If you need any permaculture layout advice or gardening tips let me know, that's what I do.
