Greetings all,
Super
exciting news . . . i can finally start posting at this blog . . . we bought a farm!! It's been a 20 year dream with
my soldier husband & only possible since he returned from his fifth
deployment (handy that he's in the same city as us!!) We have lived all over Australia, finally deciding to settle in
Canberra, a military & public service national capital city,
surrounded by farmland. My husband has future employment security, although, i'd love to see him as a full-time-farmer.
Our must-have list was . . . 45 minutes from the
CBD, cleared land, no dwelling, 100 acres & sobering things for a single income family, like
'affordable'. During our search, issues like . . . fencing/ rainfall/
school buses became important; power/ telephone/ sewerage did not - as
we desire to be self sufficient. Finally we found the right property
& much larger!! 
This
has given us the exciting potential of raising
livestock, building a strawbale homestead & planting orchards.
Could not be happier. Stay tuned for our exciting plans, we will build
our home next year. First up, is a driveway, then it will get exciting!! All the home building information will take place
at this blog & when i get sewing again - in my converted shearing shed studio - i'll revive Posie Blogs. For now, i'm busy planting hundreds of native trees, bushes & shrubs in Spring, to flourish over Summer. Love Posie
