UPDATE: We’ve moved out to the suburbs where being car free suddenly got a whole lot harder! So a car has re-entered our lives. It felt like we faced up to our fears and did it any way during our short time without one, and when the opportunity arises again we’ll grab it.

Hello you two. Just want to make three comments. I love your website it is so easy for me (a not computer savvy person) to negotiate. I enjoy your down to earth blogs and your honesty. Great. I am really impressed with the Green Cane toilet paper and I feel quite virtuous using it! Now finally, the sandwich wraps THEY ARE FANTASTIC, not only have I eliminated other wrappings, but it becomes my place mat, or lap mat when I am eating! They wipe and wash easily. I trust they are very popular? Everyone who takes a home made lunch to work should have one.. or two ( depending on the size of your lunch!) I use the sandwich pocket to carry my boiled eggs. Well done guys for making a difference in the world and encouraging us to do the same.

Thanks heaps Ciaran! We’ve been following your blog, (in complete awe of your fantastic writing skills), and will be going back over it for ideas as we head down this new road, so to speak – thanks for the encouragement

Hey guys, the next great adventure! Good luck to you both! Lizzie and I have had a great year of going car-free although it, and the blog, did get sidetracked a bit by the ol’ EQ. Anyway, pleased to hear you’re actively setting aside the $$ you save – and using them for rentals – it’s my one regret that we didn’t track it better – even though early on in the blog we did the budgeting/cost+benefit analysis. Anyway, no matter what happens for us here on in, we’ve changed and learnt much – and linked up with so many great like-minded folks world-wide. I look forward to hearing about your experiences too.

Good work! I have not had a car now for about 10 years and only on slim occasions have I missed not having one. There are always cars to borrow if you need one anyway.
