If you could bottle up that work ethic and sell it, you’d already be a millionaire. Never mind, your drive will get you there anyway.

Nick the stones from the neighbours' rockeries. They probably bought them on tic so they're not really theirs anyway.

Came home from Leeds yesterday as there was stuff i needed to do Saturday. I’m knackered and have slept most of tne day. I can’t get why being away from home, staying on hotels most of the week and travelling on trains is so tiring, There’s not much physical effort involved but I’m finding it draining. Maybe I’m just so used to doing very little. Whatever it is, I’m always in awe of you. |

You’ve got the land though, so why not, eh! Bet the locals will be jealous. Better get their credit cards ready if they want to copy you. |

will take 2 years to finish in total..as lots of water plants and bushes around the pond will take time to establish..making some flowerbeds with a stone border around the fence area.
rome wernt built in a day ffs..easy to critisize someones work..all i'de say is you go build a better one and let me have a butchers..
only proper men can do these things..tough physical work and lots of stamina needed.
try doing a days work then come home and do another days work

That was one drawback with Cyprus. Major couriers are thin on the ground, Cyprus post office was ok but costs of shipping in and out were high. I’m still hoping to get either no brexit or a deal that allows free movement. Otherwise I will have to end up between two places again and that’s not ideal to say the least. It’s why I ruled out the USA. If you pay your way and have no rights or expectations of claiming, you should be able to live where you choose. You spend your money in the country and ask for noting back. It’s a win-win.
