What would your dream life be?

CrazyCatLady222

What would everyone's dream life be?

Mine would be a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, away from everyone (apart from family), plenty of space, fields, stables etc 

and to spend the rest of my days rescuing neglected animals of all types and showing them what love/care actually is...

A little safe haven for all the abused and neglected animals where they can run and play, be with their families without being separated or hurt everyday.

I've dreamed of this my entire life and I like to think some day I will achieve that goal. Animals have been kinder and more understanding than most people have been toward me.

I feel like I can read animals better than most humans and cannot stand to see ANY of them mistreated.

Since I was a child I've wanted to save every single animal in horrid situations and bring them home with me. As I've gotten older, I have wanted it more and more, my Mum said it was a phase but 25 years later, I'm still heart set on achieving it... some day! Slight smile

  • As a child what you've described would absolutely be my dream life.

    But as an adult I know full well I haven't the capacity to lead that life. I love animals but I couldn't care for them completely myself and as much as I like the idea of being remote, I would struggle with things like shops being far away.

    So I'd like to live somewhere countrysidey with a nice cottage with the traditional beams etc. I'd need it to be close to somewhere more built up that I could go for shopping etc though so those things didn't become too much effort. I'd also like it to be within driving distance of the sea. I'd like to have horses and dogs and perhaps some other animals but I would need there to be people that helped with their care. 

    I do also enjoy and rely on tech so I couldn't live anywhere too remote in that respect either.

    You do get internet in the country, we have quite fast internet, they've just installed fibre optic cables. We even have at least 4G mobile coverage and you can get sky tv, although cable is very limitied, we even get shopping delieverd to remote places!

    I'd like to be away from other humans, not hear their noises or smell their smells.

    I wouldn't want beams, being tall I'm always worried I'll scalp myself on them, but I don't like those huge double height spaces either that you see on so many property programs with a lot of them I end up thinking 'what do you want all that space for?

    Sorry I was being a bit flippant, our previous MP did a lot of work to get us decent mobile and broadband coverage, having lived in a place with no mobile signal and dial up speed broadband it is isolating. I depends on where you live and what material your house is built from, my step son in law lives in the middle of Manchester and has terrible problems getting mobile signal in his house.

    I live in a village and whilst it has it's convieniences I'm not sure they out weigh the inconvieniences, the village has got a lot busier since covid, more second home owners and tourists who treat the place like it dosen't matter and the people who really live here as inconvienient servants. But for someone such as yourself it might be fine, the train to Chester is every 30 mins and theres a through train to London every day.

    I think it varies area to area. I know some people who had a lot of difficulty getting broadband. 

    I'm not a tall person so that would never be an issue Joy. I don't know what it is about beams but I've always loved houses that have them.

    I'd want to be away from most humans but as I say I'd need some to help me maintain my dream life but also I would want to be able to venture into civilisation when I needed to.
