On the afternoon I went over to Brough on the A66 to meet a family who had recently moved up from Winersh were ever that place is ??.

Part transitioner, part prepper family, well switched on, just fitted a pelletised heating system and a huge wood burner with back boiler.
They are hoping to put up a PV array and maybe a small turbine in the paddock.

What I found most interesting about this couple is that they say three other couples they know from the south east have recently seen the writing on the wall and put as much distance as they can between the home counties and themselves. two moved to the west country, and another to central Wales.

Also they dont consider themselves as preppers in the way we distinguish ourselves, they simply say they moved for a more safe, secure and sustainable lifestyle in an environment that is a thousand percent safer and less turbulent than inside the PC diverse, inclusive multi cultural socialist paradise of the home counties. That and the fact that the 4 bed ex foresters house they bought cost the same as a one bed flat in London !!!.

I wish them well.

Although the old man fancies a cottage in the middle of Wales that he's had his eye on for a while. Lots of land and no neighbours as far as you can see. So I'm torn at the moment.
