In his last years John, Angela and William Sutherland had been running courses in self-sufficiency from their home at Killowen, New Ross. The two had built up the smallholding from scratch over 19 years. He continued this lifestyle with his companion Angela Ashe on the banks of the River Barrow in County Wexford, Ireland.
Returning penniless to England, he lived in a trolley bus and on a Dutch sailing barge before settling on a five-acre smallholding in Suffolk to lead a self-sufficient life. As a young man, he travelled all over Africa and fought in Burma in World War II.
