    Description

    Hello, I am just in the process of putting a roof on the barn that I have and want to develope the land for a few camping spots. The land is 20,000m2 and looking to plant up for growing food, get some chickens and create pitches for tents. I have installed water and will be installing solar panels for a small system. I do have 2 small dogs which are a French bulldog and a Dachshund. I will be building a shower hut and compost toilet. If anyone would like to learn a few basic building skills let me know.

    The area I live in is peaceful but only 10 minutes from a town and 5 minutes from the local shops, bar. There is a bus route that will take you in to the city or you can use a pushbike to relax and see the lovely countryside around here or just relax here with a drink and some food.
