There’s lots of artisinal bakers and delicatessens hidden away. That’s one good thing about the city, there’s no shortage of a choice.

Good to hear you’re no longer an invader but a settler.

“Liminality” of “a place of transition and possibility.” From a previous post, thin places are all around us.

I’m still amazed at what you have got there. It’s an a beautiful location and suits you and the family perfectly.

I like the idea of those containers. Especially the wider ones to open up once converted.

The map will be updated again in a few years, but that will be the last time, I do not like this moving malarkey.

I have also recently moved to an incredibly rural place. I just dropped a pin on your map, I'm alone but loving it. Roches 23270 in France. Looking forward to your adventures in Nowheresville.

Hi Ivan, Spotted you on the map. Wow, you really are out in the sticks. Hope you are able to share some photos at some point. I had no idea you had a European passport.

I am - and look forward to the day you drop in with your family. Photos you say? Where do I send them? I have a YouTube channel which will give you a good idea. https://www.youtube.com/@ivanpope

These guys have a few case studies on container conversions (not just homes)

Maybe you can get some ideas there? good luck - and I welcome it to the container category of Shed of the year 2029

Thank you Todd. It certainly feels like it. Especially when out on a dog walk during the golden hour. :-)
