A place of my own, with some land, and more energy. :(

a home of our own so we'd not be renting any more,
a driving license and an electric car,
some chickens,
a plot of land just off from the house which I can turn into a camp site.
oh how I love my tea, tea in the afternoon. I can't do without it, and I think I'll have another cup very

Will they fruit?
They're not weeds - that's a habitat for wildlife, don't you know?

VW camper van
Solid fuel heating/cooking stove
15 Acres of land
Dexter cow for milking
More Chickens
Lots of fruit and veg growing successfully
A part time job that I liked and which wouldn't stress me out and end up being full time for peanuts!
My OH to have his health back
And all this in France!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Want to swap with me? I'd like to be able to keep the temperature above 10C for the 4 months during winter... :roll:

More land (always).

A house.

A solar greenhouse.

A few livestock (quail, ducks, and goats or sheep).

A boyfriend who didn't live so far away (long-distance relationships stink).

Oh, and money would be nice too.

I looked at this pile of wood going to the tip today and wished I had a wood burner for heating as I know that pile of wood will grow again in the future. They'd be quite happy to get delivery paid to drive it up the road to me. It suddenly reminded me of living for 10 years on wood from work and sea coal off beach - no heating bills.

Sad thing living in a council flat where gas fire is attached to the old chimney.

I wouldn't want the cold house, but believe me it is very tiring when the house is so hot, even with all the curtains drawn it can easily be 32C, but at least it is cooler than outside.
I would love to make some french shutter type things

A partner who simply can't remember when she last asked me to mow the lawn.
