Today we are putting in an offer for a small farm, and so, I think will many others. :(

This farm will become a smallholding with pigs, sheep, ducks, geese, chickens rabbits and a couple of beef cattle and of course my veg. Hopefully we will become almost self sufficient.

Our daughter with grandson and my mum who has Alzheimer's will move with us so 4 generations will be living there.

It is a realisation of many years hard work, saving, dreaming and wishing (mainly mine as hubby is a townie) so please send me any luck you have spare.

It looks like I am wishing you all the luck I have spare, (not much left at moment) but you are welcome to it. You will find yourself looking forward to the day when the clocks go back, then you might get all your work done that day with the extra hour. Leap years are also a bonus. ;)

I tried myself to go self sufficient over 35 years ago, I found I needed a 25 hour day, but I still enjoyed it and I wish I was younger to try again.

Whoops! just found another little bit of luck I was saving for the lottery, but you can have it.

Fingers crossed for you and your family. I am so jealous (in a nice way) We had a 4.1/2 acre holding in East Sussex in the 70.s with cattle, sheep, pigs but not a good growing area. Later in the 80's here in the Fens we had a couple of acres with loads of pigs (housed) chickens and the kids ponies. I still miss it all.
You will lead such a lovely life, good luck.

Very best of luck Ishard, here's hoping you get to live your dream. If you are successful I hope you have time to write a blog of some description....

Good luck Ishard - hubby must be wandering away from being a pure townie if he has agreed to this potential life changing move. How long before we can uncross things? I do hope it works out for you all.
