Matt Swan is no longer in Dorset

I've gone off grid.

Disclaimer : I obviously have to clamber back onto the grid occasionally to post these blogs. Don't judge me.

Movin' On Up

Stuff for going off grid

So this is it. In three days time I will be leaving Pilsdon and setting off with my caravan into uncharted territory.  No more bells to bring me to the dinner table. No more weekly task rotas. No more waking at 5:40am to milk cows (although they have got me doing that on Saturday and Sunday as they know I so love waking up early.) And perhaps most significantly, no more others.

Rollin' Home

I’ve bought my first home. It cost £3000, or 1.8% of the average house price in the UK1.  There was no need to get a mortgage out on it. It’s single storey and was built quite recently, in 1997. I’ll be moving in on 15th April. Admittedly it is on the small side, being twelve foot long and six and a half foot wide, but more than makes up for it by having wheels, thus allowing me to choose my neighbours.
