Hi folks , well i have at last decided it's hi time for the dream plan to start getting underway. About me i'm a mid to late 50's ex tradie woman who has worked far too hard on tools all her life.I was a ( forced into the trade ) hard working mechanic for 14 yrs till the mid 90's. I then took up a couple of degrees electrical machinery related. Started out as a muso & analog pro audio electronics tech in the late 90's & went from there. Now having split from my height challenged coat tails grabbin antagonist English chef ex a few yrs back i am soon to be free at last. I have a charming but modest old free standing town house cottage in lovely Bega valley. Lovely & somewhat old school as it is here i am not ready to settle into any growing old routine. Although the neighbours are polite & obliging enough. I find my self getting rather perturbed by their nosiness - opinion's & politic's. I can't just drive away but will indeed do so soon. I am just not the type for that. I tool a 4 month extended mostly road trip hol to Europe & England 18 months ago. I managed just fine in a little ol 07 diesel Renault Scenic which i lived in half the time. I figure that 11,000 miles tangent gave me enough of a taste of self sufficient vagrancy. Now i have decided to very low budget spruce my ol place up for sale. Ideally there-after set up a camper van likely a long wheelbase early merc sprinter. I have indeed enjoyed a lot of what i have read hear and am indeed very grateful of this resource. Sincere thanks to all whom contribute to such an invaluable resource, Kind regard's
