I hope i didn't come across as saying that I thought what you're doing was the wrong thing to do for you No I knew you were speaking for you. But thought maybe the you were speaking for was not the you for all time So I spoke for me Thinking (as you do) that it might be you someday See what country air does? |

I guess I'm one that has done both. I had my sea change in Byron for just over 5 years. It is definately a double edged sword, or 2 sides of the coin or whatever.
At the time we moved there we had been in Amsterdam a year and Syd 3 years and had a 3 yo kid. The move to the country was a need for us to slow down a bit. Having another child there, it was a great place for young family and gave us so much time to be just that. I think it hit both Veronica and I at about the same time, we needed to get back to the city. Byron is supposed to be full of culture, but, I gotta say I wouldn't want to be a teenager there, so we had to get our kids to somewhere they could get the culture and education we would like them to have. The other thing was that Kitty ( Veronica) wanted to study and I wanted to be seeing live music and get the energy of that from people like Johnny and March.
Whilst up there living with vast space around us, thousands of hectares of rainforest etc, I did find time to explore another side of me as a muso, it was a productive and interesting time. It was even confronting as to what it meant to be this image that I had of myself, in the surf no-one gives a fuck if you're a good trp player, it was definately a bit of escapism for me.
I wouldn't change the time I had there, and I wouldn't go back to living there either, well maybe not, not yet anyhow.

thrive on the funk of the city ... I'm almost 50, too, Mark and still thrive on the funk of the city, but in terms of ... I do that heaps, and am always raving to Bennie about how cools that particular day's cloud formations are. |

Out of the Clity and into the Cunty,
the beastiality limerick.
There once was a country boy,
who had the best farm toy,
it didn't plough feilds
and no crops did it yeild,
but oh god did it bring him some joy!

Was not offended.
But was weary of so many threads degenerating into bullish boyish boisterous blather. Yeah some of it is fun but I thought that post might evoke some finer reflections from the sensitive artistic souls around here, as one does often see on other threads. It did in the end though, once I gave it a bolliking.
No worries though now.
