Re: Town, city, village or what its only me and the cat
We are living on the borders of a town and village, dreaming daily of living in the middle of nowhere, but being honest enough to realise that, that just ain't going to happen

the ever growing luvpie household currently contains, 4 boys, 4 chickens, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 4 fish, an empty tropical fish tank waiting new arrivals, now are we daft to look at our broody hen thinking, if we got some fertilised eggs........

I live in spitting distance of the countryside but I am most definitely i a town that is trying not to be swallowed up by Brum

Re: Town, city, village or what its only me and the cat
quite interesting to see that we are a fair old mix then really. Strange when we set out we called ourselves the urban guide to selfsufficiency and it was just me Dave and Nev, then we started to get a small trickle of people from the countryside and I think for a while we had more country folk. So now it looks like we are pretty much 50/50 urban/rural. So I guess we can say that ish really does appeal to everyone, nice!

Re: Town, city, village or what its only me and the cat
Well Andy, if it hadn't been for this site We wouldn't have moved out of our 1 bedroom ground floor flat opposite a McDs and moved to the country side with a huge garden. This site (and it's members) made us believe that it was achievable and has seen us through some of the worst parts of it... thanks.Andy Hamilton wrote:quite interesting to see that we are a fair old mix then really.

We live suburbia but between the beach and the wine country the new builds are aproaching us fast
