I've never had the urge to live in the country or on a big property because of the work involved in maintaining it. I hope you will be able to see your dream come to a reality one day. Sometimes being intentionally slow with life can help when the roller coaster goes too fast.

The smell of fresh homemade bread baking and fresh clean air....Now I'm in dream land......I hope that one day this happens for you lovely, in the mean time just like me hold on tight as life will continue its fast pace whether we want it to or not xxBeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726487808710772500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824498722063465184.post-87961596469192487462014-03-21T13:31:38.529+11:002014-03-21T13:31:38.529+11:00We moved from the inner burbs to the outer and hav...We moved from the inner burbs to the outer and have spectacular views, a river at our street's end and the potential for those dreams you describe. However, 3 years on, I have never settled here - it just does not feel like 'home' to me. I miss the sounds of trams, people everywhere, shopping malls and strips and footpaths! One thing I did not bargain for are the locals - they are a different breed entirely and I cannot ever picture myself happily in their company (sounds awful doesn't it). Yes, some of those dreams in reality are just better as dreams! Now we are considering selling up and renting inner again. My kids hate it here and I have a serious case of the guilts for it. I want my cafes, friends and inner joys back!Six Little Heartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387889788389322969noreply@blogger.com
