sounds like my dream come true, well done - looking forward to the pictures

I agree, this is something I've been imagining quite often. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your story, Flashgordonv. :)

Hmm, any clues as to how to insert photos into a reply? I don't see it in the help section

OK, here are some of the promised photos.

First the property. Here is the driveway which is 400 metres from the road

The view approaching the house

The view from the pergola off the lounge/dining/ kitchen

View from the kitchen/ dining area

Some shots of the alpacas among the olive trees

The cattle before going to the freezer and the sale yard

The chickens, including their house

Some of the vegetable gardens

I haven't got around to taking pictures of the pigs yet, but that will come soon.

Finally we are near the water here. Yesterday I got to go out on a boat fishing

we got some nice snapper. However most of the time I will be surf fishing from the beach about 10 minutes from the property.

I will post more pics as they come to hand.

Well done Flashgordonv from a New Zealander from the north. I grew up in the very far north and know the area well. You have a great spot around Mangawahi and your views are stunning! I did similar after having some life changing moments in my work with several psychopaths....yes eventually I was constructively dismissed and saw this opportunity to sell up and come to the UK to find my roots. After the "dismissal" friends urged me to take up a legal case against my boss but half way through it broke me mentally and I called it off. It was the best decision I made as it enabled me to get on with healing and to move on.

Now I have found myself, found my soulmate, and discovered sottnet (through him) and for once my life is starting to make sense.

I love to hear of others doing similar.

It often takes a profound happening and a lot of chaos to make change for the best.


Eventually I will return to Aotearoa (Land of the Long White Cloud) with my English partner as I have two grown up daughters there.

Best wishes from French Marigold
