Sea Change v Tree Change

Over the last few weeks I have been thinking a lot about moving out of the city, getting a nice piece of property and having a change in perspective. There has been a great show on TV called Gourmet Farmer that is really inspiring. The main person in the show was a restauranteur in the city who decided to live semi self sufficient life on a farm. The challenge is to provide all of the food from the farm. So he has learned to make cheese, to milk a cow, smoke fish etc. In the last episode one of the neighbours came over and showed him how to butcher a lamb. All very inspiring, makes you want to get out and live on a farm.

Do you want to live near the beach or in the bush? How much of the self-sufficiency stuff do you really want to do? Hard choices. Most people could learn the basics but we don't realize how much is actually involved in running even a small hobby farm.

So will it be a Sea Change or a Tree Change? Still haven't decided yet but it has to have some water....and fish.
