future

Im getting excited, my hubby is going to look at some land tomorow (im at work ) its a big estate of property and land up for sale so if its suitable were hoping to buy a little bit of it and keep it for our retirement

Thats so cool, one day I'll be in that position! What will you do with the land??

Its really lovely its like a group of farms all with land its a bit like emmerdale and its all being sold off we are hoping to buy about 5 acres and rent it out for a few years then (im not far away from retirement) build a bungalow after the sale of the house we live in now and live happily ever after. Its rural but has a little village on the edge so hopefully it will be nice to grow old in

If you ever decide on an anex I could quite happily move out of the rat race

wow.. sounds great!

sounds good, where about are you buying the land

Whereabouts is the land? Will you have a smallholding or just turn it over to wildlife?

That sounds idyllic good luck to youz lucky things

Good luck gem hope it all goes well if it works out maybe you could mind all the dogs for us when we go on holiday

Ill need at least 2 acres for the horses cause id need to sell my own place but really not thought about the rest I would like to offer a home to anything that needs a foster home like cows sheep goats pigs Id love to be able to help out if I can and any wildlife wants to come and stay the more the merrier. My hubby would like a pond and have some geece and ducks I think 5 acres is not going to be enough ha ha
