yes I like a few modern gadgets.....I think I have said before I would hate to be without electric light , that I think is a basic one , I would also miss my bread maker hugely....I can make bread all by hand , But the ole bread maker saves a lot of time . I too really love my little digital camera that does video as well. Mobile phone not too bothered about, but have one in case...in case of what I am not too sure...lol. I have a micro wave but rarely use it . The pc has been a god send....and would really miss it . Welly boots are really the only other thing I would miss to any great extent , saying that though , the more you think about it the longer the list gets....lol. If I had to , I could live a victorian type lifestyle , without any mod cons , but given the choice I will keep a few goodies . I have lived without electricity or gas in the past , three years I did it . Although I got used to it , I would rather live with it , oil lamps are a real pain as are candles . They may be ok for a few hours now and then . But to live with them ... phew ...the novelty soon wears off. Simple life with a few mod cons is how I like it ....
cheers
