Hello from old, clapped-out smallholder!
« on: January 18, 2017, 06:10:35 am »
We moved from Manchester to Kintyre 16 years ago to start a smallholding. We kept GOS pigs and reared chickens for eating. That joy of everything on your plate being produced by yourself will never leave me.
Now retired and are looking to move, so we have a lovely smallholding for sale.

What a lovely place! I hope you find a new owner very soon. It must have been a difficult decision to make to give up your smallholding.

Hello and welcome.  Yes, a lovely place.  The gardens are beautiful (rockeries and alpine gardens are my thing too)  and you have a solicitor/estate agent who says '....comprises' instead of the dreaded '...comprises of'  :relief:   :thumbsup:


You might want to put this in the 'market place' area where more folk will see it.


Good luck in your retirement  :garden:

Hi and welcome to the forum! :wave: I hope you enjoy your retirement, I know it can be hard to stop doing so much when you have been doing what you love for a long time. Hope your house sells well though. Have you tried purple bricks?
All the best :thumbsup:

the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.
