The biomass thing sounds good. Do you burn wood chip that you make or are you buying the purpose made pellets.
I looked into biomass as an option for my place, bud decided that storing the fuel would be a waste of unimog garage space.
As for me, I work for myself doing TDI engine and gearbox conversions on VW transporters. It keeps me busy and I enjoy travelling so the campervan live style suits me well.
I'm not really much into the pub culture, but enjoy the great out doors and spend as much time as I can visiting places both near and far, UK and abroad.
