Lovely place, and love your Spot, I have 2 Dalmatians  ;D
How many acres how much light
Tucked in the woods and out of sight
Talk to the neighbours and tip my cap
On a little road barely on the map

I thought I'd throw in a few more pics.. just the lawns, the current veggie patch, ponds and how you can grow lemons and grapefruit in wales....
I've added some pics of my espaliers and fan-trained stone fruit ..in all it runs along about 180yds of fence line. There's also a goodly run of young currant bushes and some dwarf cherries.

It's perfect  :)

20 years ago I would have hated you - very very jealous.  >:( >:( >:( 

Now I'm 71 all I can think of is the amount of work you do to keep it looking like that.   :innocent: You should feel justifiably proud!  :bouquet: :bouquet:

You're only 6 yrs older than me. I am lazy ..so only put in a few hours a day..an hour or two mowing/strimming on days when it doesn't rain. The veggie patch needs weeding ..most of the bulk is wih the rotorvator, though and I do employ a bit of help with things like the winter tidy-up (cutting around the ponds and pruning and carting/burning it after) and mowing the hill fields where my tractor driving courage fails. Since the only stock is a few pet sheep and chickens there's not that much to look after.

If you weren't so far south I'd suggest you brought your dally's round for a play date... my wife would hate that - she can't get over the first 18mths of dally madness we had with this one and his predecessor.

You could live in the granny flat fixerupper I own across the stream. Clear the roof out of the kitchen and the back wall out of the front room...2 acres of loose stone and bramble to weed out..
