“Its not our abilities that show what we truly are, it is our choices” - Albus Dumbledore

Research shows that experiences and memories can make us happier than possessions. Over the last couple of years we came to the realisation that we wanted to change our lifestyle in order to spend more time together as a family. Having owned a touring caravan for 10 years, we were never happier than when we were away in our little home. The discussions centered around living a simpler lifestyle by downsizing our home, full time van living, moving to another country or all of the above.

We had talked about Home Education for our children but had not been brave enough until the Corona Virus Lockdown of March 2020, pushed us over the edge. Two weeks later we sent a letter to school to de-register the children from formal education.

Here we share our thoughts, ideas, references and suggestions on the things that we do. This website is the story of our journey as a family in our attempts to buy time not stuff.
