There are some good ones around nowadays aren't there.
I do like the Scandi style ones that seem to be cropping up the Highlands and Islands these days .
This won't be dissimilar , but probs built on site by various chums skilled in the art..
Design already finalised (mostly)
Plus obligatory verandah of course.
For the rocking chair in my dotage 💃

Welcome yourself into the new modern crisis
I presumed given your username that it would be some wattle and daub type affair.

You might well ..
And if you'd asked me twenty five years ago, when I first started out with serious intent upon this escapade, I probs would have had fantasies about building a hand crafted cob house, or using rammed earth, strawbales, hempcrete, making an 'earthship' or some other homespun type affair..
Like some MASSIVE hippy..🙂🌈
Nowadays I'm just interested in simple, easy to clean, affordable, pleasant to live in, and ecologically sound, without too much hassle to build..
Timber frame, timber clad , with loads of insulation, solar panels etc etc will do just fine.
Plus this sort of thing is much easier to get through building regs, and past the planning dept too..
It's hard enough as is convincing them to allow a house, without going down the knit your own knickers route.. 🙄

OMG! you have grown old, or, more mature is a preferable way of saying it
Edit: That is a joke, by the way. Congratulations!, and, I hope you enjoy your new home very much, when it is built.

Chronological age has indeed advanced for me here, even in sleepy slow Devon just as it does for everyone else..
In terms of 'maturity' though I think I've probs become more childlike with each year.
My nearest and dearest would probs confirm.
One reason an easy build / live house is so desirable, is so I can go out and about to 'play' more, and for longer..
Thankyou for the good wishes though 👍🏼
Tbh security of a place to live permenently is the main thing .
Not knowing if you'll even be able to stay long term on the land, even if you own and farm it, isn't great for forward planning ...
Many other people are in a similarly insecure position, and that's holding back their ability to plan and farm with the future in mind.

Britney Spears got married the other day apparently, after all those years of being prevented from doing what she liked by her draconian conservator dad . Good for her.

Reading around the chip
In today's edition of Things Jeremy Corbyn Was Right About And Got Monstered For By The Sensibles, I see Jeanine Anez has just got 10 years for the coup against Morales.
