The Good Life Harrowbarrow style

Now that you've seen Nik and Ricki's new abode allow me to take you on a tour of the rest of their little piece of paradise in Harrowbarrow.

This is the caravan of love and has a front and back door...


with stunning views across the valley.

They have their own organic herb and vege garden, greenhouse and compost. Nik also makes a mean elderflower champagne and they're planning to plant hops so that Ricki can make his own ale. Important to get your priorities right.



Ricki and a local neighbour, Paul, have founded their own cooperative orchard (here with baby and Ricki on the official opening day).

Officially named the Harrowbarrow and Metherell Community Orchard, they have already received local press coverage and were visited by a member of the team from the local Eden Project on opening day - no pressure Rick...



The orchard will have it's own beehive and already has its own pigs - as you can see Nik is already a dab hand but I regret to report however that she is planning to eat them. Apparently homegrown pork beats vegetarianism!
