Well, we’ve been here for 12 years.  We came to Belize clueless and naive to be wannabe farmers.  So what have we achieved in all this time.  We have fulfilled our main goal of reducing our footprint on the earth.  We dig in the dirt, grow our own food, eat and cook our own food, live in a very modest wooden shack and catch all our own rain water for all our needs.   We can build with sticks, we can start a fire and we can slaughter our own fowl for meat.  Our doctoring skills have been put to good use with our practice of medicine without the need for numbers, blood tests and scans to make diagnoses (yes, you just need to know the human body and mind and ask the right questions to arrive at the same, or even more precise, conclusion as a machine).  In short, we have become no-nonsense, pragmatic people who tell you what you need (if you ask) and not what you want.

Anyway, what’s next?  This is Munchkin and Gnome Part 2:

We have decided to gather forces and find people of like-minded philosophy.  In doing this, we have made a recruitment; he goes by the name of The Panda and he has moved onto a piece of our farmland.  His goal is to reduce his footprint on the Earth.  Our goal now is to impart our experience and knowledge to help him make this transition as positive as possible.  The Panda will be posting his experiences on this blog so watch this space!

Our regular WordPress Followers will automatically get these new posts.  My FaceBook Followers will have to go into our WP site (or follow) to get these new instalments.  Undoubtedly, the Panda will publicize onto to his own FB account.
