I need to confess that if I would do one thing differently in all of this, it would be what you all advised and live in the property first

It was only by living here that we began to feel like doing more to the place than a quick tart-up and flog-on.

Maybe that's more to do with people, though. When you sign that contract, you may have no idea what your local community will be like, or what sort of support you'll get. We struck lucky there....and the soil makes me forgive a lot of other things!

But I'd be lying if I said I've found this easy. I didn't want to return to this locality for personal reasons, and my feelings about that haven't altered entirely, though they're less strong.

You sound very happy with your choice of smallholding, which is the most important thing. We looked at dozens and very few had more advantages than down-sides, when viewed from an emotional distance.

Rhiwie... hope you are having a good 'christmas eve'.. and dont forget you got to go to bed early.( just deleted as it sounded very rude)

Seriously really do hope you are having a lovely family evening

Sounding good so far

Your earlier post on stoles had me thinking of a vicar wearing one of those furry beasties round his neck :rotfl::rotfl:

Alf, re washing I sometimes think we wash clothes too often. Undergarments daily, but why do we wash cleanish overgarments after a single use ?

Had some more good news today, DD2 got an academic linked "honour" quite early in life. Dead chuffed for her :j

Researched a bit more on my medical anatomical wall charts. Think they are 1890-1910 so should do well. But my architects drawings are also 1890s so finding a buyer for them may be more problematic

I thank my lucky stars every morning when I wake up to the backdrop of the woodland and the front drop of the fields and sea. It's been very stressful, but definately worth it. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy in my experience

My sense is your heart, like mine, is in Wales...?

NOSDA Rozee:D.

Rozee just to give you the heads up there is no 'v' in the welsh alphabet

vory should be fori ( or it could be fori)

f =v

ff = f
