But of the very occasional one that does call I tell them that they are talking to the wrong person. SWMBO is the one who looks after the finances in this family and she is at work at the moment. When they ask what is a good time to catch her at home, I tell them to call after seven. That's when she will be free. We have yet to have anyone call back. It seems that is too late for them. :eek:	Roscoe (6288)

Now we live on a long lane that goes to a farm and have 3 neighbours at the moment on a good day and with a following wind you might be able to hear them. It is as good as you can get, suburbs living sucks everyone crammed in together no thanks.	gary67 (56)

1461449	2019-06-13 09:10:00	Damn right - hate people, love animals - need to move rural and have chickens and rabbits and G Shepherds. So far 10 chickens, 2 cats, 5 horses (not ours but belong to neighbour), soon to have sheep as have a very friendly young Shepherdess who comes to visit SWMBO regularly wishes to run some here for a few weeks. No money changes hands but frequent alcoholic beverages often appear on the doorstep, or parts of dead animals can be found in the freezer which is out in the unlocked shed, barter is awesome out this way.	gary67 (56)

No money changes hands but frequent alcoholic beverages often appear on the doorstep, or parts of dead animals can be found in the freezer . We had chooks. And cats. I had a horse once, horses chew up the land though, running about with their hooves..... Even in Wyndham we had that...not the alcohol, I don't drink, but venison, trout, lady round the road bred rabbits and we got them often. Neighbour boy used to shoot geese on farm he worked on part time, we had a few of those too. His mum used to get a cow done, and when she got down to the mince and stew, she'd bring it over to me. Said she didn't bother eating "that rubbish". Good for me... I got paid in venison for one computer job I did, I wasn't going to charge anything but he pulled a pack out and very yum it was too	piroska (17583)
