National Downshifting Week

Apologies if this has already been posted and I have missed it :confused: , but I have just come across this webpage for National Downshifting Week.

http://www.downshiftingweek.com/

It strikes me that most true OSs will already know a lot of what is on here (and probably quite a bit more as well! ;) ), but for those of us, including me, who are still learning and trying to become more Old Style, I thought it made quite interesting reading... Its certainly given me some "food for thought" in the Piglet household! :D

    Nice one. Not sure about "turn off the television, turn on the radio, play games and talk" though - implies that the radio is only good for background noise, whereas in fact it is often far more enlightening than the TV! :D .
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

  • I have to say the Downshifting Planner on National Downshifting Week is a great idea for starters! It's a gentle way of going one thing at a time without trying to go the whole hog.
