Such a shame that you ran into so much hassle because they were worried that you folks, of all people, would "harm the woods". Yet, when a typical housing development goes in, they just bulldoze everything in sight.

We dont all want to be on a giant Hamster wheel for the goverment all our lives.

Love to all x

@rmcdaniel423 i agree. it's sad what they put people through to live free and simple lives. goverments want people to depend on them to have their modern day form of slaverly.

I would love to live a simple life as you do Tony, it just seems right.At age 64 , its something I have dreamt about most of my life.

English wood land has a wonder all of its own, and you live in a particularly beautiful part  of these Isles, I should have done it earlier in my life, being a carpenter I have the skills.

I think its great what you have accomplished and I wish you both the very best of luck,now and in the future.
