William Morris

A poet, writer, pioneer of eco-socialism, an artist, a person I admire, here are 2 examples of his wallpaper designs.

"Have nothing in your home you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful"
William Morris

quote from whiskey river

"We don't really have any mind at all. We think we have a mind; we think we have this thing called my mind, that it's a particular mind. Then we lock ourselves into this structure of our own creation. It's a little prison we put ourselves in. But actually, we aren't anything in particular at all. Once we realize this, then we have complete freedom - whether we're exploring the mind through writing, or through just sitting there quietly, observing the thoughts as they come up. It's all the same; it's the same free-flowing mind that's taking place. It can be found and expressed in any activity."
- Steve Hagen

Camper shopping

I am so excited about this: We are looking at campers to buy and here are examples of what we want:

This wee cutie is a 1985 VOLKSWAGEN T25 Transporter Autosleeper Conversion. Pop top is appealing and it seems so compact and reliable. It's currently being auctioned on ebay.



This little beaut is an original 1974 VW Westfalia Camper imported from California. It looks really cool and apparently will only appreciate with time since it's such a classic. We would bring this back to NZ if we bought it, it is so cool. It is on ebay and currently being auctioned, hasn't met reserve at 3000 euro.






This White ambulance looking thing is also very cool, a 1992 Leyland 400 DAF 2.5 turbo diesel engine and comes complete with everything including 2 mountain bikes and a Honda CUB 90cc motorbike with 2 helmets. Interior is blue crush velvet, nice. For a mere sum of 3000 sterling, bargain!
