What would your dream life be?

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

  • I love the sound of your dream life - it sounds wonderful! It’s a nice subject to think about. For myself my dream life would involve having a really charming smallish house with a large garden, situated towards the edge of a rural village. I’ve always dreamt of living in a home that had views out the back of a field that had several horses in it. Just myself, my husband and my son would live in this house and we’d have enough space to spend time on all our favourite pastimes like drawing and painting, reading, sculpture etc. Baking beautiful bread and cakes. Making ceramics. And we’d have quite a few pets - 2 long haired sausage dogs, Guinea pigs and rabbits, rare breed chickens. Maybe pigmy goats and a couple of Shetland ponies. Enough money not to have to worry about paying for food and heating - with a bit left over for trips to the coast or into the local town to go to bookshops and go out for a meal now and again. Lots of freedom, lots of time. I’d like to spend more time gardening too. Some friendly neighbours - but quiet people themselves so not overly talkative or intrusive. A quiet life in a quiet place! And maybe a really good fish and chip shop and a really good Chinese takeaway not too far away! Oh - and a real fire in a big old ancient fireplace - and an endless supply of firewood. And a lot of birdsong, and both Tawny Owls and Barn owls regularly spotted near my house! And the sound of skylarks when I’m sitting in my garden in the sunshine.
