mercurygirl,

I think being a feudal landlord would bring out some of my more tyrannical and corrupt tendencies but you would be more than welcome to farm an acre or two for a proportion of your bounty.

See, I've started already.

Alright, as long as there is a contract with an escape clause, in case you get too tyrannical. We'll keep you in eggs, blackberry jam, and potatoes, no problem.



Good article about peat: Link

JP, I just happened across this and immediately thought of you. I don't know if it would suit your needs, but it sure is interesting.

Only thing that worries me about the Brit. Isles is there are some theorizing that global warming could cause the gulf stream to weaken or stop altogether , they say that this would , in turn cause the Isles to suffer their own little ice-age . Something about the deep water recycling of the melting greenland ice shelf interrupting the current . Since it seems the timeline and severity of global warming gets shorter and darker every time there's a new study , you might want to take this into account.

Yeah , kids are the wildcard . If I didn't have kids I'd be livin' like I did in my early twenties, go w/ the flow , whichever way the wind blows me , etc. The conundrum is I want to do what's best for the future of my children , but the mere presence of my children and all the possessions that accompany that lifestyle make it more difficult for me to just up and go wherever may be the utopia du jour. If it was just me I'd probably be living in my sister's garage and hangin' under the El Jobean bridge all day fishin' and drinkin'.

Only problem with the blast shelter is that it's on a 1/8 acre lot. I personally have a hard time seeing sustainable living on 1/8 acre.

Likewise the Bantry Bay property is beautiful, but 2,000,000 euros for 32 acres? Yipe!
