many thanks for your reply.

i'm not looking to leave britain (though i'm always open to opportunities,) i'm just looking to get far away from cities and towns, and buy a piece of land.

i read 'think and grow rich' and many other similar books around 20 or so years ago - very inspiring and good help to retrain minds to be positive.

where you think 'the universe will provide, even if it's not in a straight line' i think 'God will provide, even if it's not in a straight line.'

with peace & love & grace :-)
