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

Hi Liz, thanks for your comment. Checked out your blog, very funny. Good luck with your ongoing possum control!
I somehow landed on your blog & this blog post especially spoke to me. I so long for a simpler life 'in the country'... Bright blessings to you. I know it has been cold down there. ;-)
Hi Cadi, thanks for your comment, greetings to you also
