2.5 years ago we left suburban Sydney and travelled 500km up a few highways, bought 25 acres and a few cows and while I totally have a few of the same shrugs of acceptance on some aspects of regional life, and of course I miss a few loved ones I am so glad we made the move. My kids are thriving and I share your love of gardening, I am working on my own vege village. Cheers to bold moves and embracing big change.
