Title: Where do I start?
Post by: Julesscott on April 14, 2015, 03:31:20 pm

 :wave: hi there, my partner and myself have the hankering for a simpler way of life, he is a hardworking mechanic in Edinburgh and I am a florist/student, we are both in our mid-forties and would really love to know some facts and figures of starting our own little small holding, we are looking to find somewhere with possibly a few acres to rent in the Scottish Borders, where he currently lives, any advice is most welcome :) thanks Julie

Can't give you any figures, apart from alwYs looking for money for the next project and can't see me ever being a millionaire.

However there are things that money just can't buy and that's what makes it all worth while

Hi and welcome, I am in the Borders too, finding somewhere to rent with land isn't easy, most houses with land are for sale but good luck  :wave:
