Title: Taken the plunge
Post by: Dans on August 15, 2015, 02:12:19 pm

Well we've finally done it. Money is with the solicitor and we pick up the keys to our smallholding on Monday. Do the actual move on the 27th.  :excited:

We'll be down near Peterborough, 2.5 acres of good, fairly dry land. Big polytunnel and some fruit trees.

I'm pretty sure we're crazy doing this with a 7 week old but hey, you never know until you try!

I just had to share with you guys.

Dans - nervous and excited all in one

Well done - I'm sure you'll all love it down there - long sunny days, warm and not too much rain.

Looking forward to hearing how you're getting on.

The wee one will be fine just think of the greater immunity they will have eating all that soil  ;)
