Hi all.
Bit strange how I came accross this site, I was looking for like minded people who might share the same values as me! Anyway I desperatly want to get away from my house, which at times seems to be a bit of a prison I have a medium sized panel van and decided to live on the road for a couple of weeks, take a few photos that sort of thing, well it's a bit dull living in a suburban jungle with testoterone males full of it, shaved heads. My neighbour thinks I am odd, cos I don't share his values, he's a bit of a nasty tosser.

Well so be it!! Skint by name.

Hi Skint & Welcome here! One gotta keep on kicking. Travelling around with a van and taking photos is a fine thing to do. In summer.

Hi Skint, Welcome, and keep on trucking.

Hello to all I haven't said hello to.

A little up-date: I bought a little farm with an old blockhouse.
No chemicals on the field since 7 years - acc. to EU or local (?) rules or laws, that means it's 'officially' good for organic growth.
I'll continue to work for salary (to pay off the loan...) and start the gardening for hobby. I'll be probably back here soon to ask your tips for economical living in my new old house.

Congratulations! Keep us updated how to get on - it sounds great, to start off with. How big is the farm, and what will you be doing with the land? Will you be keeping some livestock?

I could have sworn I said hello sooner but obviously not so hello

Hello

Hei Jackie,

Welcome.

My brother and his family live in Turku - I visited a couple of years ago and fell in love with the place.

[Jackie]

Heh, thanks all!

How big is the farm, and what will you be doing with the land?

It's all together 3,86 ha. The field is about 3 ha. I'm not sure yet, what I do with it. Something which doesn't take to much time obviously, since I am fulltime working. Lots of flowers. And vegetable gardening just for own use. And herbs, for spices and teas. And lots of garlic.

Will you be keeping some livestock?

I'd love to have some chicken, but I have to think about that. They need heated place in winter...
