Priceless moments with my mother in the English countryside

in dtube •  5 years ago  (edited)


I have been living in Yorkshire this summer, creating a time-lapse film to document the construction of the UK's most advanced solar farm. My mother kindly drove me up to the site in her motorhome a few days before the job began, so we took the opportunity to hang out in nature and talk a lot.

I felt a bit sad when it was time to say goodbye.

Having kids means that I am never normally able to spend time with just my mother. We talked a lot and we walked a lot, saying hello to the many animals around us.

The motorhome campsite was just outside a farm.

All the animals seemed really friendly, wanting to say hello to us if we came close to them.

It wasn't easy saying goodbye to my mother at the end, as I really enjoyed my time with her and the job ahead of me is no small one.

It is however, time to get this thing done now.

Glad you appreciate your mum.

So, remember I said there are houses for 1 Euro?

Here is one of the sites showing you where and how to buy (get one for your mum also?)

Excellent! I had a look.

Only trouble is that they are all very much on the beaten track. Hence the requirement for renovation. If I could buy out the whole village and fill it up with like-minded folk this might be a solution!

I will be prepared to move if we have to, but would like to remain static as long as possible. And I think for this reason, in the end, seclusion trumps everything else.

I would have thought that closed down train stations tend to be off the beaten track.

Anyway, this was offered more in the spirit of making available to you as many possibilities as possible, so that you have more to choose from. For instance, what is offered in Italy is also offered in the UK and many other countries. For myself, I loved an island property in the Adriatic which used to hold mental patients/prisoners. It is a beautiful property, with trees and huge rocks etc.
Nobody wants it because they say it has ghosts. I suppose the idea of being on an island with 'mental' ghosts who also have a grievance ...could be scary :)

1 !BEER Token for you

Appreciated!

Sorry, you don't have enough staked BEER in your account. You need 10 BEER in your virtual fridge to give some of your BEER to others. To view or trade BEER go to steem-engine.com

Am confused. Did this message arrive because @palnetvoter tried to send me a token?
