  hello and welcome from Durham
I've been looking for a smallholding for 2 years, still searching for the right place to fit around family life. At this rate I'll be retired when I do find somewhere. In the meantime I'm enjoying growing fruit and veg on allotments with our chooks.

Your never too old to learn and life is just beginning at 50 or so I'm told  so go for it.

I'm just 50 and have only just changed my lifestyle from being a civil servant in the NW of England to being a crofter. I'd say you still have many good years to look back and say you are glad you took the plunge. You are never too old but I guess the work sometimes may feel a bit harder!
Good luck from the Isle of Skye

that's a big difference...civil service to crofting on Skye!!  Mind you I work in homelessness and live in the city so I guess anything is a big difference really.  Think I'll have to do some courses before I make any big changes..fit them in around me and my dog  good luck with the crofting anyway
