I'd have just over half of that if I sold my house... but it's a bit big for just me hubby and the cat!


Maybe up on Dartmoor or Bodmin you'd get this but not closer to the coast.


Now THAT is something to live by! I'm a firm believer in that, it took ages for this 6 month holiday to come into alignment but it did. Now we move forward again to the next stage.


Here's what I meant to say. Serves me right for not just eating my dinner and replying to you afterwards :crying::pass:

We wanted to do an eco-village type thing in the UK but the problems were quite large - planning and finding reliable people to commit being the biggest. I'd still try it, if I had a group of like-minded friends but our actual circle of friends (people we've actually met) is ridiculously small and none have the same interests that we do. It's been like this for YEARS literally.. And with solar so much cheaper now it makes it easier.

If we sold now, we could just afford a smallholding but it would leave no surplus and bills still have to be paid. If we wait 12-15 months we may have an effect from improved transport links and see a jump in value.

We wanted to bring the kids up in the countryside, so they had the same sort of places to play as we did ourselves, but just couldn't reach it where we wanted to be. So they grew up on the edge of London instead. It hasn't harmed them, but one would like to grow his own food, one is capable of looking after chickens and the other one... completely citified and a lost cause I think LMAO. We've grown fruit and veg, and kept chickens since 1996. We only parted with the last ones because we were coming out here and I didn't think the kids (aged 20s/30s) were quite ready to deal with full responsibility (e.g. there might have been some neglect or forgetting to shut the hens up one night which would have been disastrous as we frequently have foxes in the garden) so we passed them on to someone else.

PM me if you like Arty, perhaps we have a bit more common ground than just weed!

Sure thing Elle, I 'll try and PM next day or so, I think we may have more in common than just weed. :d5:
