OS wish list

moggins

I'd be looking for fields too and some more hours in the day but realistically I'd love a Kenwood Chef.

The chickens are on their way as soon as my chicken house arrives so that's one dream come real.

My O/S wish list could go on for hours, a small holding in the countryside with loads of room/outbuildings for goats, chickens, ponies for DD's, maybe a cat or two and a dog......a HUGE veg patch and a greenhouse, a lovely country style kitchen with an aga, with a big scrubbed pine table in the middle for all those home cooked meals..........More kids, (OK thats not old style)

Oh, me too but without the more kids bit:eek:

Perhaps we could start up a sort of OS commune :think:

I would like to be self-sufficent (heating, electricity etc) but I would still need to have modern comforts as well.

Jaybee (btw, thats what we nickname our daughter, that or Jaybes) I think thats a fab idea. I have always been interested in communal living, as long as everyone had their own space as well. I reckon it could be rewarding, and if everyone pooled capital resources and their skills, entirely possible.OK, it also appears a bit pie in the sky - but you never know!

At least we all know that we get on well on here!!!

If anyone is watching "Its not easy being green" on BB2 on Tuesdays, thats what Id love to do if I won the lottery.

What's OS? Edit: Old Style, doh!

I'm another small holding, lots of animals, lots of kids, lots of time for me to do things I love.

Heating and electricity ARE modern comforts :rotfl: well to me anyway

Nice idea though, bagsy the quiet bit on the edge, furthest away.

I think the countryside is going to become very crowded if we all win the lottery:rotfl:

Oh I see...an OS 'WISH LIST'....here was me being much more practical. Like I'd love a big roll of cellophane to finish off some of my HM pressies...

Yep put me down for the small holding too. DH and I are intending to sell up when the youngest leaves for Uni (Four more years) by then we will be one year left on our mortgage. (We have lived in this home 20 years today!) We thought rural Wales... a 4 and a half hour train journey plus a drive in the car from where we are (London) just about far enough away without going splash.

We have 2 x plots on allotment already (20 rods). I have Aga, scrubbed pine table, pantry, garden (and a couple of sewing machines) - all I need is the view out of the window to go with it.

DH wants to be off grid, is getting excited watching "It not easy being green" and is adding to his wish list, running water, drinkable spring water, and a couple of acres of woodland for fuel.

Prices are just about keeping pace with us...we should be able to do it. But just have to get through the next four years as DH's work is slack at the moment.

Regards
