We don’t need, electricity, gas, water, but it’s handy

Electricity

Solar cells and batteries can be expensive but after the initial cost they are very good a little set up that they have on caravans with a large cell and wind turbine is brilliant.

I   found allotments impractical .the losses to theft and pests were quite staggering .Unless you love gardening and intend to spend a substantial amount of time on at least six days a week its maintenance think again

Fuel for cooking

Gas is clean and easy but it is expensive and the price is rising all the time

Wood is an excellent material in the city it is easy to find and sometimes free .There will not be a time when you will find some gas or get it for free.
