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 feel very fortunate to live in a cottage in a nice quiet village. The bus one way takes me to the GP and local shops/cafes in a small town, and the bus the other way takes me to a small city for more shops, trains, hospital, etc.

    What makes it home is my comfy bed and the cosy reception room I just renovated, where I go to read, listen to music and chill out by the fire with my dog and a big mug of tea.

    Back in 2013, I had the chance to stay for a couple of months in a deeply rural working watermill with a smallholding and cafe, and learn how to run it. The idea was that the community would buy it and I would run it, but the mill was instead sold privately, so I came back home - with lots of stories and some new skills!
