That was much faster than I expected, but I guess it helps when you've been pondering Rural Scene for the past year :D  We've made an offer on a place in mid-Wales, outside Machynlleth, and had it accepted, so now it's fingers crossed that the survey doesn't turn up anything terrible.  Really excited :o  :excited: :o  It's about 18 acres but very mixed, so maybe only 1/3 of that is moderately flat pasture, and maybe another couple of acres that could be okay for a few sheep and possibly pigs, with the rest being very sloping woodland and pond and stream.

Thanks all!  I'll be happy as long as we're able to be in with plenty of time for starting the veg garden in the spring.  I really didn't want to wind up waiting through a whole year to catch the next growing season.  I expect it makes more sense to plan on starting with chickens in the spring, too?

Nope not Mallwyd, don't think I've seen that one.  It's by Talywern.  If the survey includes mining I will promise to post it ;D

Congratulations and good luck with the rest of the process!  :thumbsup:


It brings back the good (and bad) memories from our purchase/move earlier this year. Of course now that we've been in nearly 5 months we can choose not to remember the stressful parts quite as much!

Lovely spot can highly recommend the pub in Carno for lunch and a trip to Dolgoch falls and the pub there is a must visit, both places do B&B if you need to stop over cottages for rent at Dolgoch are lovely.
The market in Mach is very good
We wish you luck
