Well, I'm just the right side of 50 now...my wife is about to be made redundant after 35 years of continued service, with a tidy little package...And I think the time has come, to move away from the hustle and bustle of Newcastle city.
We are both country lovers at heart...we have the son, who is 13 (and will still go to the same school)...who's eternal dream, since he could walk and talk, was to pursue a life in Farming....he's as nuts about animals as we are..possibly more so actually... and wants to pursue a degree in Agriculture/Animal husbandry.
We have plans to move further North, into the tranquil world of Northumberland...renting out our current house, with a view to it's future investment once the mortgage is paid.
We have two close friends, who have been in that business for several years, and hopefully, the opportunity to rent a 200 acre Farm, with two cottages will be a possibility next year.
Sheep mainly...and possibly, a Carp syndicate lake, Cattery, Kennels are all a real possibility.
City life is fun, for the younger people of the world...but it has never sat right with us.. though necessary to get to where we are now...it's time to move outta there.
Have to say, I have rarely been as excited before...this is what we have dreamed of, and worked hard towards.
My only real pre-requisite....broadband!....I will still need you guys, for my daily fix!
