Welcome Back To The Good Life
Harvesting happiness, and cultivating confidence
Hello, Good Lifers! We are thrilled to introduce you to our journey Back To The Good Life.
We are Niki, G, and our enthusiastic dog, Dilly. Together, we’re on a mission to embrace a more sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle right here in the UK.
Our Journey
Our ultimate dream is to live off-grid, creating a haven where we can grow our family while minimising our impact on the planet. We believe in the power of the simple life – finding joy in small moments and working towards big dreams.
Our channel and blog document every step of our journey, from the early days of setting up our homestead to the exciting adventures we hope to have keeping livestock, beekeeping, and growing and preserving our own food.
Why Back To The Good Life?
We started “Back To The Good Life” to share our experiences and inspire others who, like us, seek a more self-reliant and eco-friendly way of living. We understand that starting on this path can be daunting, especially with limited time, energy, space, and finances. Our channel is here to show you that it’s possible – and incredibly rewarding – to make meaningful changes towards self-sufficiency, no matter your starting point.
