Some day, In a perfect world, (which we know it isn't!) i'd like to own a little bit of woodand, not a lot, just enough for a little cottage or log cabin where i can lead a peaceful life.
Somewhere rural, but where it doesn't take a 14 hour ferry crossing to reach civilisation. Maybe within a short driving distance to a shoreline, where you could collect molluscs and bivalves, or do a bit of fishing or set creels.
Or maybe near a lake or river, where you could get a nice trout or salmon, or even a pond where you could attempt to stock it with fish or something.
Also, a place where there is a reasonable amount of wildlife, hares, rabbits or even a pidgeon or two, all for the pot.
To be able to have some form of job, which doesn't take over your life, where you only had to work a week or two a month, but gave you enough money to survive for a little while.
Don't get me wrong, i'd still like my computer and internet, DVD's and hot running water, and maybe a nice holiday most years. But the rest of the time, peace, quiet and honest hard labour would be good for the body and soul.
What do the rest of you think? Anyone else have a dream?
Cheers, Karl
