Thanks to Gloria & Kath for the friendly welcome. I have no connection with Minack at all except for being entranced by Derek's books a few years ago. My family and I had looked in to self sufficiency in the 1970’s but weren’t brave enough to pursue it.

It was interesting to see from the Tangyes’, the depth of personal relationships and life experience of the simple things in life, that perhaps, really are fundamentally most important to us as humans. It was that spark of wonder that made me want to find out a little more and see photographs of their home that are available on the site.

Those are the best reasons in the World to join us in FOMS. That is all that is needed a 'Wavelength' feeling for Derek and Jeannie's lifestyle and happiness at reading their story of Minack days. Lovely to hear from you. :D

Welcome Frances! Glad to meet you!

What better reason than that to join us here, we have all been entranced by the books and thats what drew us all to Minack...I dont think any of us have a conncection with Derek per se, simply one of finding one of the books ~ reading it and then wanting to know more...

Hope you enjoy the forum and look forward to chatting with you!

If there is anything you need help with or find a problem please just ask me or Jeff, we are here to help...
