It's a great small city with like minded individuals looking and yearning for a way of life, much like yours. <br /><br />Keep up the great work...looking forward to reading your new and exciting journey.<br /><br />With light and honour,<br />Arvi Arvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00871787848831203411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-83446426526112650232013-07-27T17:54:02.648+01:002013-07-27T17:54:02.648+01:00Wonderful post.

I'm very happy for you. <br /><br />I think I lived vicariously through you before, sort of, and now we have wheels also. Nothing fancy, but we have freedom now, and a great beginning.<br /><br />Because I'm not a great artist or any sort of writer, I seldom comment, so while I am leaving a comment here I'd like to tell you that I love your blog. You have wonderful photos and I love the way you write. Your site is "cozy" and I find that every time I visit I go back and look through older posts and articles and through your galleries and sometimes spend an hour or two just absorbing your warmth and the amazing colors! I have to say, I adore your artwork. You're certainly among my favorite artists.Representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811793207369399757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-45675933586648017892013-02-28T23:31:08.337+00:002013-02-28T23:31:08.337+00:00thank you for this, another wonderful post Rima,&#...thank you for this, another wonderful post Rima,'ink and teabags' obviously loves and misses you and are not able to embrace your 'now' happiness without your dependance on them, no worries sweet heart, they just haven't learned yet to be happy for the people who we have met in our lives and move on xxx<br />zoomshttp://freespirit-zooms.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-72108418904590568072013-02-27T08:56:42.948+00:002013-02-27T08:56:42.948+00:00Hi Rima

I hope you'll bring her over on the ferry to Spain some time.<br /><br />My first proper home (that was _mine_) was a narrowboat. Mind you I only lived there for six months and didn't get around to fitting an engine, so the only journey I made in her was a couple of hundred yards down the cut, towing her by hand.<br /><br />Will you be posting some of the sketches you mention for the redesign of the interior?<br /><br />take care<br /><br />Robert<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-726841146555128042013-02-26T16:39:05.285+00:002013-02-26T16:39:05.285+00:00I have read your posts off and on, usually via Twi...I have read your posts off and on, usually via Twitter links. I am so glad I came across this post and I think you are courageous in how you live and how you express yourself. I often forget I moved to Norway just a couple of months after meeting the man I was supposed to be with, so I forget I can do courageous things too, until I read words like yours, which make me think of possibilities to come.<br />And good for you for addressing the silly person's comments, and for being open in how it hurt you. You are human and deserve to be treated with love and respect, much as they would doubtless hope to be treated.<br />Hugs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-48581218482188825722013-02-23T13:12:34.819+00:002013-02-23T13:12:34.819+00:00Dear Rima!

As for the anonymous nasty comment, delete it just as you would whisk away dust from a shiny red apple. There is no need to let it spoil the feast for those who eagerly come to table. I've deleted the occasional nasty comment because they spoil the mood of my blog.

I'm an avid reader, but not a commenter, and I think your writing's really special. There aren't many corners of the internet which are so welcoming or beautiful. I used to go to a place called Lower Shaw Farm when I was younger, and this blog reminds me of listening to stories there round a campfire on summer evenings.<br />Also, it's so encouraging to know that somewhere out there, people are doing the things I'd love to do one day! It's possible! <br />All the best from Scotland,<br />mel xMelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-53075458480534354982013-02-17T15:47:25.755+00:002013-02-17T15:47:25.755+00:00Oh!

I am thrilled for you and a little envious I confess!<br />Being of the same struggling artist, home renting financially unviable type I love the freedom (even if it's imagined) of my lifestyle and choices. But.....although I have no desire to shackle myself to the property ladder, I do dream of home built by my own fair hands along the lines of some of these beautiful places in your post. Mine is constructed from hexes and filled with bees.<br />Good luck to you two and can't wait to see the progress.
