It's Now Available. Lloyd Kahn's Stunning And Inspirational New Book About Nomadic Life In The Twenty First Century. It's Called Tiny Homes On The Move...

Lloyd Kahn sent me his beautiful new book Tiny Homes On The Move and I can't put it down.
Here's a glimpse at just some of the more than two hundred pages of wonderfully innovative tiny homes that travel on wheels and on the water and provide for their nomadic owners, lifestyles so rich that they are indeed millionaires.
This latest book following on from the brilliant Tiny Homes published in 2012 will be another
best seller. Check it out here.
I don't usually endorse things but I do recommend you get your hands on this wonderfully inspirational book that will soon be regarded as a classic.
Thanks Lloyd for presenting these dreams that have become marvelous imaginative realities... 

French Workers Get Paid To Cycle To Work...

Perinton by the way was recently voted one of the best places to live in the US.
But they didn't say who voted.
Or what they were on...
