Author Biography Dick Strawbridge, a retired lieutenant colonel and former army engineer, has always been fascinated by how things work. His desire to lead a greener life led him to put his practical and leadership skills to use in converting New House Farm in Cornwall into an ecologically friendly, but completely modern, place to live. The familys journey to a sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle was documented in the BBC series Its Not Easy Being Green, which ran for three seasons. Dick cowrote the previous edition with his son, and is also the author of Its Not Easy Being Green (BBC Books, 2009). His most recent TV project is the BBC series Escape to the Chateau (March 2018), now in its fifth season, which has been renewed for another season in 2019. James Strawbridge, Dicks son, has inherited his fathers enthusiasm for inventing and DIY, and cohosted Its Not Easy Being Green. After cowriting the previous edition of Self-Sufficiency for the 21st Century and Its Not Easy Being Green, James and his father hosted other popular series, including The Hungry Sailors (ITV 2012, 2013) and Saturday Farm (ITV 2013). James has also cowritten a series of books on artisan crafts, preserving food, and traditional skills: Made at Home (Octopus, 2012). He currently lives in Cornwall.
