I didnt come here to be ridiculed. Its a serious question as I am selling my home, moving to Wale a'la Lammas and I intend to be very close to self reliant by 2017!

So, again. Can anyone help?

I think maybe you could get in touch with Lammas who already have many contacts of other people looking to set up a community siomilar to theirs. I know Pual Wimbush would be the man to contact.


You might be right there neilblockhead. We did just visit a couple of times a few weeks ago and asked a few questions but it was a med sized party and I didnt want to hog the conversations.

The wife and I are thinking of trying to get an audience with them/or Paul on a one to one. As in all things though, of late we are finding it difficult to leave town due to cash or work nonsense!!

Ta though :)
Of course I understand you! But please, woman, just make me tea when I get in!!!

Not too fussed there Geronimo. It takes all sorts as they say, but I too do like a bit of fun. Its what its all about in truth :P

If we were to meet at any time in the future, then we would know each other for real and not just through the typed word, and that would be better :) Men in the flesh are real for sure, but the www is a place to have fun at times.

We already have a North ~ South divide. Maybe all of those opposed to the NWO could migrate Up North and all of those for the NWO could migrate South? Then we'll all know where we stand! We should have Birmingham as the halfway mark because of density of population in London. Maybe people could swap houses and jobs? IDK maybe it's just wishful thinking?

Hi Incensed. Thanks for keeping it up!

I had seen those sites before and others like them, but I find them to be a false reflection of what is out there.

The cost of these sites is enough to put off even the richest of individuals. I get the impression that the sites are maintained for the sole purpose of keeping folk like myself out of the 'living on the land' dealy. When one reads of the cost of simple sites and of woodlands with tythes on them, you might get the idea that 'one day...just one day I might be able to afford even a cheep woodlands'...if you belive the hype in the text.

Even in our small trip, we discovered a Wales (in this instance) that had many an individual that was selling their lands or homes (and lands) for prices that would make a Londoner blush with possibilities. I am after one of two things. One to go it alone with the wife, my family, on our todds. But the second would be to do that but with a feww other families wishing to do the same. using the same locality as a base to set up things like swap shops etc.


Moving on now...we are still in the process of selling our place. It is slow due to an illness of mine (nothing problematic but a pain in the arse nevertheless) and a lack of enthusiasm that holds us back at the moment. Hmm. will I survive it all? :?

We will be going over to see the Lammas crew soon, in April, and have a one on one if they are willing. Maybe that will give us a swift kick up my backside and sell the house irrespective of what I feel it looks like.



nelly.

I wish you all the best. However, I would recommend a warmer country.

It seemed to rain non-stop every time I was in Wales.
