Embark on Our Eco Journey

Join us as we transform a 1930s dormer into a sustainable sanctuary, embracing renewable energy and eco-friendly living.

Our Journey from Ashtead to Bannow

Our story begins in Ashtead, England, where we decided to embark on a life-changing adventure. Selling our home, we moved to Bannow, Wexford, Ireland, with a vision to transform a 1930s dormer property into an off-grid eco haven.

Our mission is to inspire others by sharing our experiences in sustainable living, renewable energy, and the challenges and triumphs along the way.

The heart of our journey lies in our commitment to sustainability. From the initial move to Bannow to the ongoing transformation of our property, we aim to document every aspect of our eco-friendly lifestyle.

Our website serves as a platform to educate and motivate others to embrace greener living, with a focus on reducing our carbon footprint and fostering a connection with nature.
