Wedding planning, flats searching, job searching

Okay so I know it has been a long time since I blogged and my title is the reason for this,I know it looks all grown up and boring, and to be honest it feels pretty awful. If you have every been without money you will know what I mean, the system of living is revolved around money, you don't have a choice, even if you wanted to separate yourself completely from society you cannot do this without money, it doesn't matter who you are, we are essentially controlled by someone else's idea and in this country there seems to be no getting out. I am an idealist, and if I could live having as little to do with the system as possible I like to believe I would, but we need a roof over our head, food in our belly and we are as much as we love to get out there on the edge we are 'creatures of comfort'. I like to be snuggled in a warm bed with a nice hot cuppa (shocking I know) I like to come in out of the freezing winter winds and stand next to a radiator and as bad as this may sound sometimes I feel like being lazy, pajama days in front of the TV can even appeal to me. So could I really live out side the system? I rant about it, I dislike it, yet honestly I am not sure if I would be able to last forever living out in the sticks with nothing to go on except my own steam. So the only option I have left myself, is to beat the system at it's own game, and here are some possible ideas, make my own company, invest in property and/or gold, stop using the banks as much as I can, stop using the supermarkets,  help Brandon invent a machine that can power out house (if we ever get one) for free forever, dig a bore hole for fresh water (But I have found out you do pay tax on that, unbelievable) there is one problem, tax, I don't agree with the amount we get taxed, for one, who actually gets to decide where it goes? I mean I love the fact we have set up the NHS and I believe we should definitely all pay towards fixing up the roads and emptying bins and rubbish disposal. but I recently found out, they charge you about 86 pence tax per letre of  fuel now I'm no expert but that sounds like extremely high, where does all that money go? So, I have actually  gone completely of track, what I really want to say is my fiance and I are looking for a flat in the wiltshire area, we are still getting married, we are still running PPS (www.Pheifferprop.com) and I want to start blogging more regularly, foraging has come to quite a stand still, due to winter and business, but I am very keen to get back out there.

Beginning to Blog and Forage

As I am new to blogging and foraging this will definitely be a learning process which I am eager to pursue. I have been itching to get my hands 'dirty' and get going with this whole foraging scene for a while. But what really began to motivate me was when my man Brandon Pheiffer proposed to me. Getting married feels me with an unending amount of excitement, and while discussing wedding plans we stumbled on a beauty of a plan, home brewing. Making alcohol to have at the wedding, now this poses a few problems, one being we have never made our own before and we could easily do something wrong, another being we actually have no idea what we are doing, so these next few months will I'm sure as well as happiness, fun and excitement, bring some frustration, annoyance and possibly some disagreements (lets hope not). So far we have had an immense amount of fun and I have some film clips I would like to share in the near future and some pictures of us the happy couple. We are based in Calne and have been foraging in Lacock, stockley and the surrounding areas. As we are on the road quite often working in construction  (PheifferPropertyServices) it has given us ample time to scope out some new foraging sites. So please, take a walk with us as we delve into this new world of blogging and foraging.
