I've just watched half this on Ch4 and as someone who would love to do this it took my breath away. I have no doubt it would be bloody hard work but to get away from this kind of life to get right back to basics would be the life for me... What's your thoughts on it?! Gonna watch the other half after my backshift. :greengrin
Looked amazing and fair play to then for doing it but you could tell the kids will probably mean it won't work long term.
She was a bit of a milf though ;-)
Haven't seen the programe your talking about but I'd love to do something like this if I had the chance.
Not for me, I enjoy city life. I love getting away from it all for a break, but that's enough for me.
I've long had a desire to move away to the country and out the city and it's definitely something I'd like to do sometime. Obviously not as extreme as the programme mentioned but I can see the appeal.
My girlfriend was brought up in a village of under 50 people and thinks I'm mental and loves the city. She accuses me, probably correctly, of romanticising rural areas based on a few days walking every month for leisure. I understand that and accept that living in a remote location is not without practical problems but I just love quiet and solitude.

It's ***** being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The **** of the ****ing Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just ****ers. :greengrinQuote:
