What happens when the only place you've called home (London) is unable to support the kind of life you dream of?

Three years ago my husband and I made a life-changing decision and it is now finally, really happening.

*inhale*

1) We are uprooting our entire lives and moving to Portugal. We are building a house powered by the sun on a 3-acre patch of countryside with a ruin, just outside Lisbon. We are doing this to answer a calling to the land.

and…

2) I've written a book about it! It's my debut book. And I wrote it completely in secret. Almost no one has known about this book, until now.

My debut book is called Pathways.

It's on sale now for a limited time, until 27th May only (then it’s gone).

Worldwide print delivery and e-book available.

Pathways is my debut two-book special

It’s part memoir, part manifesto and part guide. Here’s how I describe the books:

To the Land: Consider any aspect of the current human experience and there's a very good reason for doing things differently. This is an honest look at the absurdities of modern life and why I am quitting the only way of living I’ve known, to pursue a very different one of self-sufficiency in rural Portugal.

To Purposeful Living: Mini essays and thought exercises to help us face a simple question: how can we cut through the noise to identify the things that make us feel good and fulfilled?

With every order you also get three beautiful postcards designed by artist and illustrator, Georgia-Maia Oliphant, and one of them is of our magical evening in The Earth Lodge, with Craig the facilitator and teacher of the Permaculture course, playing the didgeridoo!
