Hi again. Steve and I moved over here seven years ago with two kids and two dogs. We didn't speak any Portuguese and didn't know a soul. After a tremendous uphill struggle we bought a piece of land and embarked on planning and building our place in the sun. We grow organically (actually
bio dynamically) as much of our food as we can manage having run an organic food distribution service in Britain.
Back in the UK Steve was involved in many private and civil construction
projects. Over the years in Portugal he has had lots of dealings with local Camaras (councils) regarding planning and construction, found some excellent English speaking architects and lawyers and has lots of reliable and professional contacts in the construction industry.
Alternative
We live a fairly “green” lifestyle and often come across the word “alternative” to label what we do. However, we think “shades of green” is a more realistic approach to environmental awareness – no one's perfect
and no one wants to ruin the planet so we all try to improve our lifestyles with this in mind. Some people want to live in a tee pee or a yurt others want to live in a castle. It's up to all of us to find environmentally sound
solutions to this challenge so that we can all be happy with where we
live and when it's our time to leave the stage those that follow can feel proud to inherit our achievements.
