I choose to ignore her testicles and Penis , and go straight for a txx wxxx ?.

I remember you posting that pic mack. What I remember most is the old birds nips in the tight t shirt ?

We looked at a few plots of woodland in Devon. It's a beautiful place , but I couldn't face that five hour drive . My plot in Wales is 90 miles from home . It takes me two and a half hours with my Mrs in the car , or two hours if I drive up there on my own . I'll sometimes pop up just for the day , if I have a couple of small jobs to do. Some of the land up in Scotland is fantastic value for money , but it's just way too far to travel . I've looked at places with lakes in France (my own fishing lake is my dream) , and you can get some real bargains , but it's the travelling again

It's a lot of hard graft getting to grips with it mate , but you're playing a blinder . I wish I had your motivation ?. I wish mine was a bit closer to home . If it was, I'd probably pop up after work.
-
I haven’t heard of those to be honest . I look into all sorts of projects, but I constantly get sidetracked, and end up doing something else instead. How much time do you spend working in your woodland?. You certainly put some hard graft in.
-
I haven’t noticed any. Mine is 90% oak , with a few, rowan , Holly, Hazel, and the odd bit of this and that. If your woodland has been used to produce charcoal in the past , you're halfway to your log cabin ?.

They looked OK when they were cooked. I just wouldn't be able to get past that dead rat smell ?.
-
It would be nice if you could produce enough to make a living. That would be a good reason to build a cabin in the woods.

I reckon that charcoal making could be one of those skills that takes a long time to master.

Just don't tell him about the walnut shell exfoliating face cream , or he'll never leave you alone ?.
-
That's a cracking video . I reckon it could be quite relaxing once you've mastered the art. Unless you were selling the charcoal, you'd need to have plenty of bbqs to make it worthwhile.

Dude you just can't post things like that on here . You should be posting that on www.takingitupthebum.com where they would appreciate your efforts ?.

Looks like you've had another busy one. ?. I've tried bracken beating for the last couple of years , and although it held the bracken back a bit , it's still growing. This year I've been strimming, and hoping that it won't come back next year.

Only basic stuff like oak chopping boards, fishing priests ,or the odd bowl , nothing special really. I have made the odd unusual thing though . I was once asked to make a wand . A mate made me a bronze axe and knife( so that I didn't kill the fairy magic by using steel tools) , and I made a load of wands . I made them from , oak , copper wire , and , deer antler . I was gobsmacked when they all sold ?.

Yep , that's me. I don't go without a single thing these days , but nothing I have comes from my wages , every penny of that goes into the family pot(even though my kids are grown up). Everything that I have , is either bought for me by the Mrs and kids (they really spoil me) , or bought with cash I make from buying and selling, or from selling craft things that I make.

??????????. I'm laughing because you're bang on the money ?.
-
That's very true ? . My problem is that I'm very comfortable these days , but in the past , I've gone to bed very hungry way too many times . Its the thought of those bad old days , that has always pushed me to work hard and make money , and look after my wife and kids . The thought of ending up back in that situation, stops me from taking risks.?
-
I've seen the same . I'd guess that some of them are perfectly legit , and others are just chancing their arm at getting planning permission, and some are just living the dream. I know that in the past , it was quite a common thing for people to buy a small/cheap plot of grazing land , then throw a couple of , donkeys, horses,llamas, alpacas, on there , then put a caravan on there , as they need security, then apply for planning permission for a permanent residence, then sell the land with planning permission, or build the house and sell it. I believe that although it can still b

Drink it from your sweaty boot . It'll taste better than drinking it from a paper cup ??.

I was a member of moochers years ago. They had a member that was an anti . The difference of opinions was always very, open , honest , and , polite . Because of that , it was always very interesting to hear the views and opinions from the other side , even though I rarely agreed with them.

North Wales is a beautiful part of the country . We looked at a few pieces of woodland up that way before I bought my little plot , a bit closer to home. Living off grid doesn't have to be rough ( unless you prefer it that way) . Just a little bit of forward planning, and extra graft , and you can be pretty comfortable. I'd guess that keeping cattle might be a bit more challenging, but as long as you don't mind the extra effort, it would be great. We rarely stay at our woodland for more than a long weekend , maybe a week at a push , but I'd love to try living off grid . Seve

83 acres is a cracking piece of land to dissappear into . You can manage quite well without mains electricity or water , just as long as youre sensible, don't mind putting a bit of graft in , and limit your expectations slightly. ?

As a kid , I would have climbed to the top of that tree in the blink of an eye , but , as a 54 year old , I'd piss my pants just watching someone else climbing it ?. I wouldn't mind the firewood though ?.
-
Now that's a proper days graft . I couldn’t work at that height for a million quid ?

Paulus has already said that they can both come back whenever they want . All they have to do is behave like grownups. ?
