Our Small-Holding Dreams & Moving Forward Diary 2021

Hello All 
The World Events of the last year have shook us awake and we (my little family) have come to realise now is the time to pursue our self-sufficiency small holding dream.
Myself and my DP both have mortgaged properties to renovate and sell, then we shall put the proceeds towards some land and a small farmhouse style property.
We both work from home now - due to redundancy - and don't plan on a return to the work place. Even though our monthly income has taken a bashing, we realise working from home and living a more relaxed lifestyle has given up a quality of life we never expected. We have also started to electively home educate this year. So whilst renovating homes, working from home and home educating, we are also trying to live a more frugal and financially savvy lifestyle to enable this new, more connected lifestyle.
I plan on keeping this diary to keep track on our progress, note down even small victories and hopefully use to reflect back upon when times get tough.
