MedusA Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 What a fabulous thing to do! I am so jealous! I would love a smallholding. Guess I'll just have to be content with my 2 allotments. All the best with the venture, and do post lots of updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Don't think 'incredibly flat' think 'BIG skies' instead (living at 0m above sea level on the edge of the fens I feel qualified to say this!) Go for it and keep us posted.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 It sounds just like we want to do - even down to taking my parents with us (certainly not the dragon-in-law). I think we are looking for smaller scale - we aren't getting younger, but some alpacas to keep the foxes away from the free range hens, now thats ideal. I have even told my dad that he will have to wear a smock and floppy hat, chew some straw and lean over the gate going "arrrrr". He wasn't too happy with that, can't think why. He will be chief potterer and seedsman, so he is happier now. Good luck and have fun Regards, Koojie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little chickadee Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Wow - fantastic news. I went to college in Lincolnshire and it's beautiful, but then I'm from Suffolk, so am used to not having rolling hills I hope that you will be really really happy. Good luck selling your house We did it in 2 1/2 weeks (lots of prep before that!) - hope you're that lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggy Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 how exciting but really scary too, I'd love to do this but may have to wait until we are semi retired Kids at Uni etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I went to school in Steatham. The one with the tasty green uniform . I bet you are in a much nicer place now. Sarah.x I know the one, the girl's school right? We lived very close just by the common. We swapped a beautiful house in a nice neighbourhood for 40 acres and a Medieval Hovel, I love the land and woods and go hacking every day and have enough animals to fill an ark, but I do miss the sociability of London the folk around here can be hard work!

ubereglu Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Wow, that's fab news. Can I come too? It sounds like something I'd want to do-except I'd want alpacas too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I think i'll avoid Boston aswell as it sounds like its a bit funky there My Mum lives in Sleaford (not far from Boston) and she loves it there. The shops are great in Boston and she prefers it to Lincoln or Grantham. She says it's a bit weird walking down the street and the main language you hear is Polish, though. She even jokes about doing an evening class so she can understand what they are saying. I lived in Lincolnshire for many years and it is a much-underestimated county. I'm sure you'll love it there.
