Reasons for our lifestyle

I've been thinking about this post for a little while.

What made us move to the country in the first place?

Well here are some reasons that spring to mind:

* Above all to grow our own food - fresh, chemical-/GMO-free, plus different varieties from what's available in shops (i.e. heritage vegetables and fruit - better tasting, better nutritional value)

* In doing the above, saving a bit of money

* To be able to plant more native trees to restore the land to it's previous state (before it was cleared for farming a few decades ago)

* For the peace and quiet

* For the fabulous night skies (no light pollution)

* To have some space

* To get away from the rat race

* For a simpler way of life

    Hello Brigit,

    Great you're writing about your Lifestyle block. Thought I'd say Hi.My Blog is a bit different. I do those cartoons for Rural Living you might have seen on page 2. I have 12 acres so I know what it's like to enjoy the space.
    Cheers
    Liz
