So glad to hear it Helen - best wishes for the big move. Can't wait to see pics and sometime this year visit you there!
It sounds ideal - I'll be looking for a miniature version of that when I get there I think!

Good for you Helen. It sounds like a dream place.
So will you be moving soon? Does it have a house or will you build? Barns. Are the barns already? Tells us all the details.
Life is good!

| Hi Jackie, has a home on it. Plus downstairs is like a self contained unit, with lounge, bedroom abd bathroom, so that will be my space, for crafting etc.:) The property has haybarns, 2, shed thingy, and tractor shed. Plus we are quite high up the mountain, so dont get the frosts in winter. |

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! And just to let you know- I carried around all my plants in big pots last year so I could plant them when we moved. They did great and I had an abundance of tomatoes and pepers last year. So don't be afraid to start your garden in "to go" containers that you can bring with and plant when you reach your blissful 80 !

Oh, Helen. That does sound perfect! I'm very pleased for you, and slightly envious - a suite for you self. Wow, now, that's crafting heaven.

| Lucky for me, the gourds will stay protected from the cows, and I am only about 16kms away from them. They will be waiting for me, once they have dryed off. Hopefully, I will end up with some, luffas, dippers and birdnest gourds to craft. |
