Settling in north wales
Been here a week now and aside from the stress, cost and weather its pretty damn nice.
I even sat down with my dad and got us a little facebook going. All TRF members are demanded to go and "like" the page.... go now.... https://www.facebook.com/LlwynFfynnon I found my old tractor hasnt taken too well to 12 years of rain and being parked... So today I saw this one fresh posted on ebay and settled for cash.. 4 (No wrist shot but my SD is under the greasy farmer shirt) Im gonna use it as a parts donor and get mine back rolling :) Anyway Ill try and get some fun wrist shots tomorrow. Did I mention the weather is horrific

Must've been tough moves to make - both Wales to Cali and back again. Hope it all works out
Weather there today looks better than North Devon. |

Yea it was really hard and stressful but its time to get back to family and hopefully take the business to the next level :)
Plus me and the wifey really want kids and this has got to be one of the best places in the world to grow up.

Looks like a pretty neat place if you ask me. A different pace than California, I would guess. The older I get, the more I crave peaceful, serene surroundings. Was this land that you owned before you left? How much land do you have?

Its my dads place, its got 3 fields for a total of 12 acres, two of the fields are campgrounds while the field behind the pond (in the pic) is for the horses. Its a seriously different pace here and its almost like a farm, my parents have got 12 or so chickens, 2 horses, 8 ducks, 20 doves, a peacock and 3 dogs. I called BT yesterday to get the broadband fixed and they said they would have someone out within 11 days, I almost got mad untill I remembered where I was lol it sure aint the states.
