I have been thinking about your situation today & remember the tv series  'The farmer wants a wife'  there are so many people out there, that would love to meet an outdoor type. Each man looking for a special friend was inundated with replies - I don't think you would have to go it alone for long & in the meantime maybe family or friends could help out to keep things going?
10 / 15 years ago I'd have jumped at the chance to leave my life behind & take a chance with a handsome farmer  ;)

The trouble with forum usernames is that they tend to be non-gender-specific...  :innocent: :roflanim:


I did see some of the farmer wants a wife show, they had to pick the ones that made good TV didn't they?


Sorry to wander off-topic there  ;)

Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,

Bring the peace back

yep it was the hard work at first, then I sold my horses hoping it would help and started doing all the work on my own apart for the odd time when I was out or needed some help.
That wasn't good enough either. So angry and upset. I just hope I can find good homes for them all.
Maybe us smallholders should all ditch our lazy OH's who don't like our passion about the good life and get together, then we could have our cake and eat it ;-)
Playing Devil's advocate here - but IS your relationship so important that YOU have to give up everything and your other half GETS everything their own way? :thinking:

Folks, Pip has said many times in this thread that it's the OH's money keeps the place going, so doesn't see continuing the smallholding without the OH - or a lottery win - as an option.

Pip - would it be possible to tell me if you received my message as, despite sending it twice, it still isn't appearing in my message sent items?

Thanks - Donna
