Mallows - my mum has always said that I will need to find a rich husband - a wealthy farmer or vet could be lovely! Now I just have to hunt one down...
Thanks for all your replies, everyone!
I'm just trying to work out in my head exactly what I want, and how to do it - basically, I'd love to have everything that comes with a small farm, but also not have to work another job to make sure the bills are paid. I had thought that unless I grew something really special and unique it wouldn't be possible, but you never know. There are plenty of small farms around this part of Aus that specialise in luxury products, like capers and olive oil and goat's cheeses, as well as the ubiquitous Australian wineries (some of them are quite nice, some of them are definitely not), but then I'd have to work out what thing in particular I'm passionate about enough to want to do that all the time. Once I've worked that out, then I'll need to work out how much space I'll need - I've got a feeling that this will be a long term process!
In the mean time, I'm just going to learn all I can and see what would suit me best. A year ago I was thinking I could be an academic, and a year before that I was planning to be a diplomat, so we'll just see how I go!
Thanks again for all your help, everyone!
