  This Island is going to get crowded with everyone suddenly wanting a slice!!  Definitely nice in the summer.

MGM that would be fab, I could cope with goat milk but not with goat handling, tho I'll offer a pony to round them up on  But you wouldn't be MGM anymore, you'd be MIG, Mad Island Goatwoman 

I could live with changing my name. I suspect I would be DIVORCED Mad Goatwoman though. 

shame there arent more houses on it or we could set up a commune. im in for 25% if theres a school nearby? 
you need barns though for my ponies and cattle.

No worried. I am a teacher. I'm not fit enough to do any manual stuff so my contribution can be the teaching and admin.

okay mrs b says were in for 10% (not sure how she thinks we'd fund it)


she's a social worker so we'll have to find her some proper work to do...


we have 4 kids so looks like the school will have to be an early fixture!!!


although my 11 and 12 year olds say they'd rather work please!!!

I've got 4 kids as well so a few more and we've got a school full!!

I can contribute 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 kids and an OH who works in IT - hmm do you think they've got broadband?! 

[bloomer]

it clearly says no services, so once we have sorted electric (i still think a wind turbine and battery bank is the easy option up there) and a few other minor bits we can get satellite broadband which is good but very expensive for initial start up.


Is Mr IT ok to do manual labour in the meantime please!!!


Mrs B has currently got it worked out that if we sell everything we can afford 10% of the island but not afford to build a house yet!!!

[Torrin37]

  sorry, was joking about the broadband! Satellite sounds good tho!

Mr IT very happy to do manual labour, plenty of energy and enthusiasm although lacking skills as we've only just managed to get hold of a piece of land

Oh dear, I think once into 10 families (10% ownerships) and double figures of kids the place may be a bit crowded for me     I don't mind summer visiting in rotation but all those folk moving in full time, I don't know, I've only got one couple next door here and she's talking of selling next year and the idea of one unknown new neighbour/couple/family is scary enough!

There again, the anxiety over changing neighbours might be incentive to sell up now while there are lovely ones who like ponies and buy eggs and don't complain about muddy gateways in front of their kitchen window or the cockerel crowing or the stallion "working" every 10 minutes at ungodly o'clock outside their back door..

Anyone want a 10 acre holding in Fife with mature orchard, veg plots, hen run, 4 paddocks and an old pole barn that needs the extension re-roofed or potentially a new barn built if you had the funds and wanted bigger/better..  But conditions of sale includes waiting for entry til I secure the island or somewhere else to move to - 12 ponies at livery for 6 months plus 3 cats in a cattery and rent on a cottage for me and my sale money might have run out before I got anywhere

Guess that is the pictures of Summer and is as good as it gets. No trees because the wind is so strong they tear out of the little topsoil available. Used to love Mull as we went either end of the season when the wind was strong enough to blow the midges away. Having said that I could still see myself living there, huddled in front of a peat fire with a bottle of single malt whisky (Jura).

I wonder if there's a bigger island for sale somewhere? Sounds like we're going to need it.
