  Description

  I am a retired horticulturist developing my little piece of paradise to become self sufficient. Getting there. Slowly.
  My dream is to empower women by teaching them new skills (carpentry, welding, blacksmithing and more) in a safe, relaxed and friendly environment. I've built the shed for this but there is still work to be done.
  Scenic and quiet. Beaches a 7 minute drive away. Heavenly...
