There, and back again...

​It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to. -- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

So here goes... Deep in the Shire, in the lands of Middle Earth, I acquired a bit of hill. And there I shall be digging holes in the ground. These holes will be the beginning of paradise. My paradise, inside this bigger paradise.
I obtained a ute to help me carry the goods around that undoubtedly need carrying in such a large project. And am working with architects and engineers on designing a house, a homestead, which will be complemented by an astronomical observatory.
It is a long journey still. And the road goes ever on and on. I'll just have to keep my feet. Because I've been told, there be dragons...

My future home will be built where my bright red Ford Ranger ute "Roxy" is standing, with magnificent views of the rolling hills of the South Wairarapa region.
