Relocation, Relocation, Relocation!

Well, if you have been reading this blog over time, you will have come to understand that life on a broadacre farm in the middle of nowhere didn't end up being the dream life G and I were hoping for! Decisions had to be made! Finally we decided there was nothing more to be done than move away from Morilla and buy a smaller property closer to the city. Call it a failure. Call it a lesson. Call it whatever. After a while 'hanging in there' just makes you look and feel even more of a loser! Time was wasting and we realised we didn't have as much of it to waste as we used to have!

Enter Castle Hill.

We first saw Castle Hill on the internet and both agreed it looked very pretty. Tall trees, river at the bottom of the block, undulating land, lovely lake like dam at the front of the property, established vineyard and olive grove, pretty little rammed earth cottage overlooking the river. Pretty and only 40 acres- managable without becoming an administration hassle, but still plenty of room for our menagerie and space between us and our neighbours. Seemed to be just the ticket for us. So we went and took a look. But this time we went with both eyes wide open and a list of must haves and preferables.
