It was because we didn’t have a tractor.”

I found that hilarious!! :-)

I just discovered your blog via Wellington Road! This post nearly had me in tears! Congratulations on ‘going for it’! Living the rural dream is something many consider, but rarely do. I’m so relieved you have such incredibly helpful, supportive neighbours (and hope you’ve got a tractor on the way soon!). I think what you’re doing is fabulous. It takes guts and graft, but the rewards in terms of lifestyle must be incredible. I just love your reflections on the starlit sky and your ‘friend’ the moon. I shall be back to read more!

Best wishes,

Sarah (British expat, lived in Wellington for 12 years)

It was because we didn’t have a tractor’ t-shirts made!

It sounds great where you are and I am sick with jealously :)

You’ll find it harder + perhaps, resent having to leave the property, especially if you’re commuting to the city. Anyway, welcome, + enjoy the delights of country living!

We’ve come to a good solution by leasing the paddocks to a stock agent. He grazes cattle and sheep and fixes fences, etc. We’re a loooong way from having stock of our own!

I never thought of returning to the California farm that I grew up on but after reading your story…I remembered how brightness of the moon and star without any neighbors around. Enjoy!
