Description
My wife Marion Copleston, and I have a nice homestead in the wooded hills of friendly Bonshaw.
We have access right out our door to great hiking trails and canoeing.
We enjoy:
sharing our skills with work to be done together,
biking in our beautiful area,
sharing our practical and philosophical knowledge in discussions of 'living lightly on the land',
singing and folk music.
