Would you leave for, 'a new life in the wild'? What would be/is your perfect home?

Marianne72

I love watching Ben Fogle's, 'New Lives in the Wild.' I wouldn't have the courage to up-sticks like this, but dream of somewhere tucked-away, town or city, close to GP, interesting shops, library & hospital [signs of ageing!]. I now live in rented; a pleasant bungalow in the country, 2 fairly large gardens, but like many villages there are few resources.

What is your ideal dream home? Do you live there already? What makes it 'home' for you?

  • I've never seen it. I would love to live in the countryside but closer enough to a town where I could get essentials etc. I'm not self sufficient enough for actual middle of nowhere. Weirdly, not liking people very much, I actually love the idea of a close knit community where everyone knows each other. I don't know why because I try to avoid people as much as possible. But I always like the look of places on TV that have communities that are close.

    Twenty years ago, I would of quite liked being off grid and self sufficient, but now I'd be quite happy staying on the island, just somewhere in a small hamlet or village, not on a road or surrounded by noisy people and BBQ's. I'd still have a decent sized garden to play in. I'd like to be a bit more inland too, just so as we don't get these salt laden winds that stop me from being able to grow so much of what I love to eat, like beans, peas and purple sprouting.

    It's good having a shop and being on a bus route or something, neighbours are a mixed blessing, it depends on who they are and how nosy they are, I'd definately want to avoid the lawn mafia again though!.
