Joanna Yeates: Murder at Christmas

2011-12-24T09:29:00.001+01:00

Exclusive documentary examining the shocking murder of Bristol landscape architect Joanna Yeates, who was strangled in her flat by Vincent Tabak in December 2010. Including interviews with Joanna's parents, initial suspect landlord Chris Jeffries, and those involved in solving the case. Never before had a missing pizza, grey sock and 293 tonnes of domestic rubbish played such an important part in a murder investigation. But this was all the police had to go on when 25-year-old landscape architect Joanna Yeates went missing on 17 December 2010.

Living above Joanna and Greg was their landlord Chris Jefferies. Described "as an eccentric pillar of society" he was a retired 65-year-old English teacher. Also a member of the local neighbourhood watch group, it was alleged that Jefferies had seen three people, including Joanna, leave her flat the night she disappeared. He would go on to play a key part in the hunt for the killer.

Joanna and Greg's next door neighbour was Vincent Tabak, a 33-year-old Dutch national. Described as an "introverted loner" as a child, he had grown up in Uden, Holland. After gaining his masters degree and later a PhD in engineering he moved to the UK. He worked in nearby Bath and lived with his girlfriend, Tanja Morson. The events on the night of 17 December would change his life forever. Joanna Yeates could not know she was living next to a human time-bomb ticking towards murder.

Vincent Tabak spent hundreds of hours trawling pornographic sites learning the best way to kill...and then he set about his task.In Joanna Yeates: Murder at Christmas we meet the people who lived through one of the most compelling crime stories of the decade.It emerged that Joanna's killer was an online fetishist who spent hours watching violent pornography. Psychologist Emma Scott outlines why some men are susceptible to online-addiction and gradually find the line between reality and fantasy blurred.

We also hear from former police detective, Mark Williams Thomas, on why his criticism of Avon and Somerset Police led to him being banned from media conferences. He explains the challenges that were faced by the Police as well as the mistakes that were made.

And we travel to Holland to hear from those who lived alongside Tabak; the man who broke a nation's heart and left a family forever without their 'ray of sunshine.'

Karel Kryl - Hle, jak se perou

2011-12-16T04:43:00.001+01:00

Tak hle, jak se perou, jen pohleďte na ně,
jak úplatky berou a svrbí je dlaně,
jen pohleďte na ně, jak zatančí tance,
když namísto daně jim dají kus žvance.

®: Pít, klít, rouhat se víře,
pak sedět v díře nějaký rok,
klít, pít, co hrdlo ráčí,
vždyť osud stáčí už poslední lok.

Tak pohleď, jak s vervou tu do sebe mlátí,
než hrdlo si servou a život si zkrátí,
tak s křikem se boulují s tupostí mezků
a páni se radují, utáhnou přezku.
®:

Když v hospodě pijí, tak pozor dej na ně
jak na klubko zmijí, jež zabíjí laně,
tak pozor dej na ně v té podivné době,
vždyť při této hraně jde o krk i tobě!

So behold, how they fight, just looking at them,
as taking bribes and is itching palms
just look on them as dance dance
if, rather than tax them the piece of cud.

®: Drink, swear, blaspheme the faith,
then sit in a hole a year
swearing, drinking, your heart's content,
after all, it turns the fate of the last sip.

So behold, as with the verve into each beat,
than to rend the throat and a shorter life,
and screaming to the dullness of mules boulují
lords and rejoice, tighten the buckle.
®:

When drinking in a pub, so be careful to give them
both on the ball of vipers, who kills does,
to give attention to them at odd times,
after all, at this edge for the neck and you!

Karel Kryl - Král a klaun

2011-12-16T04:39:00.000+01:00

Král do boje táh
do veliké dálky
a s ním do té války
jel na mezku klaun
Než hledí si stáh
tak z výrazu tváře
bys nepoznal lháře
co zakrývá strach

Tiše šeptal při té hrůze
Inter arma silent Musae
Místo zvonku cinkal brněním
Král do boje táh
do veliké dálky
a s ním do té války
jel na mezku klaun

Král do boje táh
a sotva se vzdálil
tak vesnice pálil
a dobýval měst
Klaun v očích měl hněv
když sledoval žháře
jak smývali v páře
prach z rukou a krev
Tiše šeptal při té hrůze
Inter arma silent Musae
Místo loutny držel v ruce meč

Král do boje táh
a sotva se vzdálil
tak vesnice pálil
a dobýval měst
Král do boje táh
s tou vraždící lůzou
Klaun třásl se hrůzou
a odvetu kul

Když v noci byl klid
tak oklamal stráže
a nemaje páže
sám burcoval lid

Všude křičel do té hrůzy
ve válce že mlčí Múzy
Muži by však mlčet neměli
Král do boje táh
s tou vraždící lůzou
Klaun třásl se hrůzou
a odvetu kul

Král do boje táh
a v červáncích vlídných
zřel na čele bídných
jak vstříc jde mu klaun
Když západ pak vzplál
tok potoků temněl
Klaun tušení neměl
jak zahynul král

Kdekdo křičel při té hrůze
Inter arma silent Musae
Krále z toho strachu trefil šlak
Klaun tiše se smál
a zem žila dále
a neměla krále
Klaun na loutnu hrál
Klaun na loutnu hrál

King to fight stroke
to far away
and with him to the war
rode a mule clown
Before he looks before download
and from the facial expression
You recognize a liar
what fear conceals

Softly whisper in the horror
Inter arma silent Musa
Place bell jingled armor
King to fight stroke
to far away
and with him to the war
rode a mule clown

King to fight stroke
and hardly moved away
and burning villages
and conquer cities
Clown anger in his eyes
he watched arsonist
bathed away as steam
dust off his hands and blood
Softly whisper in the horror
Inter arma silent Musa
Instead of the lute in his hand a sword

King to fight stroke
and hardly moved away
and burning villages
and conquer cities
King to fight stroke
with the murderous mob
Clown shook with terror
retaliation and culture

When the night was quiet
to deceive the guards
and not having a page
itself burcoval people

All shouted to the horror
in the war that the Muses are silent
Men, however, would not remain silent
King to fight stroke
with the murderous mob
Clown shook with terror
retaliation and culture

King to fight stroke
and benign červáncích
saw the miserable head
goes to meet his clown
When West then blazed
flow streams darkened
Clown had no idea
how the king died

Many people cried at the horror
Inter arma silent Musa
King of the fear of hitting stroke
The clown laughed quietly
earth and lived as
and not the king
Clown playing the lute
Clown playing the lute

Karel Kryl - Jeřabiny

2011-12-16T04:33:00.003+01:00

Pod tmavočervenými jeřabinami
zahynul motýl mezi karabinami,
zástupce pro týl šlápl na běláska,
zahynul motýl jako naše láska,
zahynul motýl jako naše láska.

Na břehu řeky roste tráva ostřice,
prý přišli včas, však vtrhli jako vichřice,
nad tichou zemí vrčí netopýři
a národ němý tlučou oficíři,
a národ němý tlučou oficíři.

Na nebi měsíc jako koláč s tvarohem,
koupím si láhev rumu v krčmě za rohem,
budeš se líbat v noci s cizím pánem,
já budu zpívat zpitý s kapitánem,
já budu zpívat zpitý s kapitánem.

=-=-

Under dark red rowan
butterfly died between karabiners,
representative for the rear stepped on běláska,
died butterfly as our love,
died butterfly as our love.

On the banks of the river sedge grass grows,
apparently came early, but stormed like a whirlwind,
above the quiet country growls bats
dumb people and beat officers,
dumb people and beat officers.

The sky as the moon cake with cream cheese,
buy a bottle of rum in a pub around the corner,
to kiss you at night with a foreign master,
I will sing with a drunk captain
I will sing with a drunk captain.

The Marriage and Bipolar Disorder Authority | The Great Burnout

The Marriage and Bipolar Disorder Authority | The Great Burnout

Caregivers are prone to burning out when taking care of a loved one dealing with a chronic medical condition. However, when caring for someone, especially a spouse, who is suffering from Bipolar Disorder can feel like you are burning the candle from both ends. Not only are you trying to keep on top of medications and medical care for your spouse, but you are trying to be a patient and loving spouse while dealing with the mood swings, cycles, and everythingelse that comes with Bipolar Disorder. There are some things that you can do as a caregiver to try to avoid the burnout.

1) Find a hobby It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just find something that you enjoy doing that does not revolve around your kids, time management, or your spouse dealing with mental illness. It could be as simple as giving yourself a workout routine. Remember to make it a concrete part of your schedule, so that it has priority. You need to remember to set aside time each week for you so that you become so overwhelmed. Setting this time aside each week will give you something to look forward to each and every week.

2) Support System We are very lucky to have a strong support system of family living very close and this has been a great help to us while working through my husband’s mental illness. However, some couples struggling through bipolar disorder are not lucky enough to have a strong support system around you. If this is the case, try to find a good support group that meets at least on a weekly basis to get some basic support going for you and your family. At the very least this at least gives you a group of people that both you and your husband can relate to and this will help you realize that you are not alone in this journey.

3) Find a new balance When bipolar disorder takes over your life, or at least that is the way it feels, sometimes it can seem as though the scale that you have used to balance your family life is now broken. Some days it will feel as though it will never be fixed. Come to a place where you know where your limits are for yourself and for your family. Sometimes this will mean saying no to a lot of social events – that’s OK! You are in the process of redefining your life, your marriage, and your family. Just like growing in any other area of your life, this will be a rocky road though if you are able to find that new balance your marriage will be stronger as a result. There will be other social events in the future. Won’t it be wonderful to go to those social events in the future with your marriage and family intact instead of becoming another divorce statistic?

What are some ways that you have avoided burnout when caring for your spouse living with Bipolar Disorder.

Love Hurts, & Men Feel The Pain Longer

2011-12-16T03:39:00.000+01:00

Check out what our neighbors to the north have discovered: men are about twice as likely to report depression stemming from divorce than women.

According to the AFP news agency, men aged 20 to 64 who had divorced or separated were six times more likely to report an episode of depression than those who remained married, according to Statistics Canada. Women, however, were only 3.5 times more likely to have had a bout of depression after a marital breakup than those still in a relationship.

Neither the study nor the news report on it gave any real indication of why this was. What would have been interesting is if they paired these statistics with ones on who initiates divorce and reasons cited for the split. I wonder, for example, if women are initiating the divorces more because of cheating spouses and the like. In which case they are probably six times more likely to be pissed off after divorce than men. Or hey, vice versa.

But do check out that little happy nugget of news at the bottom. Turns out it takes only four years to get over the complete and utter devastation of losing the person you love. Well sheesh, if they can solve that one, now can they tell us how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?

The Break Up Girl can offer solutions and advice for both men and women, whether together, apart, or working on it.

After the break-up, your "first love" never really leaves you, according to student research at UC Berkeley

2011-12-16T03:35:00.001+01:00

After the break-up, your "first love" never really leaves you, according to student research at UC Berkeley

07 Feb 2001

By Kathleen Scalise, Media Relations

Berkeley - Whether your heart belongs to anyone this Valentine's Day may depend on what happened the first time you fell in love.

This new finding, by University of California, Berkeley, graduate student Jennifer Beer, challenges the notion commonly held since Freud that the stability of the parent-child relationship sets the stage for attachment later in life.

With romance, said Beer, "Some of the problems you have in the romantic domain may have more to do with your first love than with your parents." She based her work on the first-love stories of 303 UC Berkeley undergraduates, mostly juniors, collected in 1997.

By "first love," Beer doesn't mean a childhood crush on a teacher or movie star, but the first real relationship of a romantic nature between two individuals, often experienced in adolescence or early adult years. Those who remember the experience positively are more likely to consider themselves securely attached to their current romantic partners, she said, and to perceive their romantic partners as securely attached to them.

She now is looking at how such recent and distant "vivid" representations of self and partner are stored in different memory systems in the brain and what this might reveal about self-perception.

"Vivid memories are very detailed, self-defining, something you recall a lot, stories and anecdotes you dwell on or tell all the time," Beer said.

In the case of first love, such memories often range from bittersweet but fond - perhaps recollections of a poignant puppy love tinged with regard or regret for a long-ago sweetheart - to deeply painful, soul-crushing experiences.

Whatever happened, "it can set you up as thinking, 'This is what I am like as a relationship partner,' " Beer said.

People who recollect their first romantic experience as involving good feelings, for instance, citing memories of happiness, excitement, strength, inspiration, pride and enthusiasm, were more likely to be in stable relationships years later than those recalling hostility, upset, stress, guilt, fright or shame, Beer found.

"First love relationships often break up. So people say, 'What do you mean, good feelings? It was a breakup,' " she said. "But even though the relationship ended, which seems like it might be negative, the vivid memories surrounding the experience can be good or bad."

As an example of a good experience, Beer cited one respondent who suffered greatly because her former boyfriend dated other women immediately after their relationship ended. But, prior to that, the experience had been a positive taste of what love could be, and the woman learned what made her happy in a relationship.

Alternatively, Beer described a stormier experience that left the respondent years later with the unshakeable suspicion that all men were untrustworthy.

"This is wrong, but I cannot help myself," the respondent commented. "One negative experience has been enough to change my entire outlook on men."

Beer identified four patterns of perception surrounding relationships:

* Secure - A secure, positive sense of both self and partner in a relationship.

* Dismissive -A positive sense of self, but not of partner.

* Preoccupied - A positive sense of partner, but not of self.

* Fearful - Negative recollections of both.

Those with memories of positive emotion and outcomes from their first relationship "were more likely to have positive views of self and others in romantic relationships," Beer said. "Those with more negative emotions and outcome were more likely to show one of the other three patterns."

Break Up - Love Quotes: Moving On & Letting Go Of Your Love

2011-12-16T03:31:00.000+01:00

Sometimes the cards we are dealt are not always fair. However you must keep smiling & moving on

Moving on, is a simple thing, what it leaves behind is hard.

To be able to move on, one has to learn to forgive not only the person (or people) who have done one wrong but also oneself

By forgiving and choosing to move on, one takes the power back to morph it into positive energy.

Life is about making the right decisions and moving on.

Forgiveness and letting go are steps on our road back to happiness.

That time plus distance equaled moving on from your ex.

What's the point of pointing the finger, other than to stall your own progress in moving on?

If you're serious about moving on in your life, all you have to do at this point is be willing to have your path be an enlightened one.

The fact is you can't escape the past by moving on, it just moves with you.

Often the thought of pain is actually worse that the pain itself.

You are responsible for your life. You can't keep blaming somebody else for your dysfunction. Life is really about moving on.

Take a second out to think about this: in your life you search and search for the right person for you. Every time you break up with someone you get one step closer to that person. You should look at moving on as getting closer to meeting the one.

Quietly forgiving and moving on is a gift to God ~ and yourself.

When you start to abandoning your old beliefs or values... you may be stuck at the threshold for two or three years. Before moving on, you have to clear away your cherished beliefs.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but simply moving on with dignity despite that fear.

You may have buried or repressed your own power for so long a time that you feel incapable of moving on without the strength and support of a lover, even the lover you just left behind.

Drinking, eating, shopping,revenge,,rebound sex,drugs or whatever your poison may be will number the pain - but that's all.

If you bury the pain deep down it will stay with you indefinitely, but if you open yourself to it, experience it, and deal with it head-on, you'll find it begins to move on after a while.

one shot at a time and then move on. Remember that golf is just

The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can and as often as you can, and keep moving on.

A graduation is a small but significant tradition that I think everyone should take part in. What a great way to symbolize a part of your journey and to represent your thoughts for moving on.

Moving On has allowed me to know who I am and to be present in all that I do. I take this forward in my work and in my personal relationships. It is a powerful program and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to move on with their life.

If someone you love hurts you cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

Letting go doesn't mean giving up... it means moving on. It is one of the hardest things a person can do. Starting at birth, we grasp on to anything we can get our hands on, and hold on as if we will cease to exist when we let go. We feel that letting go is giving up, quitting, and that as we all know is cowardly. But as we grow older we are forced to change our way of thinking. We are forced to realize that letting go means accepting things that cannot be. It means maturing and moving on, no matter how hard you have to fight yourself to do so.

How to Let Go of Someone You Love

2011-12-16T03:28:00.000+01:00

Knowing how to let go of someone you love is tough, but you’re not alone if you’re holding on to the past! It’s hard to let go, my friend.

These tips for letting go and moving on apply to all types of loss, and include resources for healing a broken heart.

Before the tips, a quip:
“Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting them back together.” ~ Unknown.

This is one of my favorite quotations on letting go because it’s true – sometimes it’s worse (in the long run) to try to get back together. Sometimes you need to keep forging ahead, and learn to survive heartbreak.

Here are a few tips for letting go of someone you love…

How to Let Go of Someone You Love

If you feel hopeless and depressed, read 75 Ways to Let Go of Someone You Love. I interviewed psychologists, life coaches, counselors, and grief experts on the best ways to cope with and heal from loss.

Remember both the good and the bad parts of the relationship

When you’ve lost someone you love, it’s easy to focus on the great parts of your relationship and life together. But, there was a reason you broke up — maybe even several reasons! Don’t ignore the “bad” parts of the relationship and idealize the best parts…instead, keep reminding yourself that you’re letting go of the past because holding on to it isn’t good for you.

Accept that your loss may always hurt or confuse you

Some things, we never ever get over — but we can still live full, rewarding lives and achieve our goals! Part of letting go of someone you love is accepthing that you may never have all the answers. For instance, my sister cut me out of her life five years ago. She told me she didn’t want to speak to me again and wouldn’t tell me why. That was the ultimate lesson in powerlessness and letting go…and that’s why I wrote Letting Go of Someone You Love.

Accept your lack of control over other people

No matter how “good”, smart, helpful, giving, or attractive you are, you can’t control other people. If they leave you, they have their reasons…and sometimes those reasons have nothing to do with you. The sooner you accept your lack of control, the easier it’ll be to let go of someone you love.

Rebuild yourself

Your losses, heartbreaks, setbacks, and disappointments have made you a different person — a better, more unique, more compassionate person! Instead of mourning what was or what could have been, start something new in your life. Think about what goals you should set for your life. Volunteer, take a solo vacation, join a new gym, take a night class, join a support group, check out a new social club, quit your job, and set new life goals. Rebuild your life — set new life goals.

Remember that letting go of love doesn’t happen overnight

Letting go of the past isn’t something you do once – and poof! You’re free, healed, and happy! Rather, letting go is a journey peppered with steps forward and steps backward, good days and bad days. I grew up in foster homes, and was constantly saying hello and good-bye to new families, friends, and cities. I learned how to love, let go, and open my heart to love again. And I’ve survived those heart-wrenching, gut-twisting breakups that slam you to the ground and rip you to pieces. Letting go is a process that takes time.

Why Do Women Break Up With Men?

- Is it my looks?
- Is it my money?
- Is it my job?

DATING DISASTER 1:

ME: "Hey..."
HER: "Hey." (Not very excited. And I'd feel my stomach sink.)
ME: "Uh, I just thought I'd call and say hello. See how you were doing..."
HER: "Oh, yeah, I'm doing great. Look, I can't really talk right now - I'm hanging out with a friend."
ME: "Oh, uh, okay. Call you later?"
HER: "Sure thing. Talk to you later..."
-- CLICK --

DATING DISASTER 2:

Candles.
Music.
Wine.
Good food.

REASON #1) She found another guy.

REASON #2) She's exceptionally smart and emotionally mature, and she realizes that you're not what she's looking for in a long term relationship.

REASON #3) You STOPPED doing all the things that got her attracted to you in the first place.

We have to approach her (tell me that isn't agony...)
We have to brave the fear of rejection...
We have to get her number...
We have to call her up and ask her out...
We have to make the plans for the date...
We have to keep escalating things until we can sleep with her...

There is just no other, no face, voice, hair, soul, or being that I see as having any beauty at all.

It's just too late for my recovery of what was lost due to lack of recognition. For family and Anna, all so much beauty, once clouded by life's overwhelming demands and my confusion.

just incase i have to leave

and i will go if you ask me to

i will stay if you dare

and if i go i’m goin shameless

i’ll let my hunger take me there

this house

she’s quite the talker

she creeks and moans

she keeps me up

and the photographs

they just laugh as i burn her down

and i will go if you ask me to

i will stay if you dare

and if i go i’m goin on fire

let my anger take me there

the shingles man they’re shaking

the back door’s burning through

this house she’s quite the keeper

quite the keeper of you

i will go if you ask me to

and if i go, i’m goin crazy

i’ll let my darlin take me there

Brent Amaker & The Rodeo - Doomed

2011-12-15T18:24:00.003+01:00

Brent Amaker and the Rodeo is an American Country Western band from Seattle, Washington consisting of Brent Amaker, Tiny Dancer, Sugar McGuinn, Ben Strehle, and Bryan Crawford.

Brent Amaker and the Rodeo formed in Seattle, Washington, in 2005. The band’s image recalls influential country musician Johnny Cash, ‘The Man in Black’, as they dress head-to-toe in black with matching Stetson hats and cowboy boots. They are billed as influenced by art rock performers Devo and glam rock’s David Bowie.

Much emphasis is put into the band’s image as evidenced by a large collection of photos and music videos done by the band, fans, and photographers and videographers. The Rodeo have a cinematic quality and are often put in context of spaghetti western films made by Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone.

Their concerts often feature a dancing girl from local burlesque troupes and a phenomenon only known as the “Whiskey Baptism” where Amaker welcomes new fans into the “Church of the Rodeo” by pouring shots of liquor into their mouths.

Recently, they have been gaining notoriety from their cover of “Pocket Calculator” by German electro-pioneers Kraftwerk.

They also performed in the indie slasher film “Punch” directed by Jay Cynik. Cynik also wrote a comic book based on the exploits of the band on tour called “Mescal de la Muerte.” Illustrated by Portland, Oregon artist, Simon Young, the graphic adult novel was included in their 2010 release “Please Stand By.
Doomed

The best country music expresses profound things in the commonest of terms, and these postmodern cowpokes do a decent job approaching that. “In the end/ We’re all doomed/ Even if you’re living/ On the moon” on “Doomed” comes off as just careless rather than an endearingly glib take on mortality. But based on the hooting and hollering from the band during the interlude before the last chorus, that’s not their main concern. If country music really is for the everyman, why shouldn’t songs about the apocalypse two-step in on nursery-rhyme couplets? – J. Arthur Bloom – Tiny Mix Tapes

Doomed was featured in the closing song of Showtime’s series finale of Weeds on September 26, 2011.

In the end We’re all doomed

Even if your livin’ on the moon

We’re all doomed.

Super volcano near

Even if we get out of here

We’re all doomed.

We’re doomed.

Enjoy your stay while you’re here

We’re Doomed.

So take this time to pass some love around

And tell your friends before they’re dead

Love is the only legacy you leave behind

And we’re all doomed

In the end We’re all doomed (yee haw)

Even if your livin’ on the moon

We’re all doomed.

How ’bout the big line across the sky

If it’s here we’re gonna die

Everyone dies

So take this time to pass some love around

And tell your friends before they’re dead

Love is the only legacy you leave behind

Love is the only legacy you leave behind (yes it is)

Love is the only legacy you leave behind

And we’re all doomed

The song can also be found in episode 14 of One Tree Hill, season 3, as well as well as the season 4 episode My Déjà Vu, My Déjà Vu of Scrubs and season 1 episode four of The Riches. It served as the music to “Thought of You”, an animated short by Ryan Woodward.

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you’d gone
and let the world spin madly on
Everything that I said I’d do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on
I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving and I’m standing still
Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on
I thought of you and where you’d gone
And the world spins madly on.

Je to krajina, nebo akt? Prostějovský rodák Petr Sládek vytvořil sérii "zasněžených" fotografií, které se ale nedají v žádném případě označit za ledově chladné. Na zachycení krajiny je podle něj potřeba hodně času. "Ten já bohužel nemám, a tak prostě krajinky musí ke mně domů," vysvětluje v rozhovoru pro Reflex.cz.

The Dale Family "Hobbit House" in Wales - Built for £3,000

2011-09-30T17:42:00.001+02:00

Fed up with huge mortgage payments, Simon Dale decided to take matters into his own hands – literally.

Armed with only a chisel, a chainsaw and a hammer, the 32-year-old moved his family to a hillside in Wales and started digging.

The result is a wooden eco-home – constructed in four months and costing just £3,000 – which would look perfectly at ease alongside the Hobbit houses in The Lord Of The Rings.

Finished article: Simon Dale's family home which he built in four months for a cost of £3,000

Nestled: The moon rises on the house which is roofed with grass and blends in to its woodland surroundings

Cosy home: The house is heated by a wood burner and a solar panel provides power

Mr Dale, who has no experience in carpentry or architecture, created his sustainable family home using scrap wood for floors, materials scavenged from skips and by diverting water from a nearby spring.

And while he was doing the building work, his wife Jasmine Saville and their two toddler children camped in the nearby countryside.

He said: ‘Being your own have-a-go architect is a lot of fun and allows you to create and enjoy something which is part of yourself and the land rather than, at worst, a mass-produced box designed for maximum profit and the convenience of the construction industry.

‘Building from natural materials does away with producers’ profits and the cocktail of carcinogenic poisons that fill most modern buildings.’

Sustainable: Simon Dale, who had no experience as a carpenter or architect when he started the project, used lime plaster and wood from the surrounding area

Woodland view: Mr Dale put the timber frame up first, then the roof, so his family could be sheltered while he carried out the rest of the work

Hobbit house: The finished article sits in the Welsh hillside and is almost hidden from view

The family struck lucky searching for a site for their dream project. In return for looking after the area, the owner of the woods gave them their plot for free.

After digging into the hillside, Mr Dale – with the help of his father-in-law, a builder – first constructed the building’s timber frame.

The roof, which came next, has a layer of straw bales for insulation and is covered with sheets of plastic to make it waterproof.

Finally it is covered with a layer of earth, which ensures the house blends perfectly into its surroundings.

Woodland home: Simon Dale, with wife Jasmine Saville and their two children outside their home, just four months after starting work

Once the outer shell was complete, the family made an interior wall from straw bales stacked on dry-stone walling and staked together with hazel sticks.
Once the walls were up a sub-floor made from pallets was laid, with floorboards put down on top.
Miss Saville, writing on her husband’s website, said: ‘Some past experience, lots of reading and self-belief gave us the courage of our conviction that we wanted to build our own home in natural surroundings.
‘For us, one choice led to another and each time we took the plunge events conspired to assist us in our mission. There were times of stress and exhaustion, but definitely no regrets and plenty of satisfaction.’

Window on the woods: The cosy sitting room looks out through the conservatory to the surrounding woodland

From scratch: Simon Dale building his 'hobbit house'

Before and after: View from the unfinished window (left) and piles of stones on the house site

Foundations: The house takes shape with palettes laid as a sub floor, ready for floor boards

Helping hand: Simon Dale's son helps out gathering wood

Family task: Simon Dale moved his family to Wales and started building

As well as being made from sustainable material the Hobbit house, as it is dubbed by locals, has lime plaster on its walls instead of cement, a compost toilet, a fridge cooled by air from beneath the foundations and solar panels for power.

Mr Dale said: ‘This sort of life is about living in harmony with both the natural world and ourselves, doing things simply and using appropriate levels of technology.’

Since building his house, Mr Dale is following the design to construct the first home in the Lammas Village, Wales’s first eco-development.
