Park Life 71 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Over the last few years I've been fantasising of getting an olive farm or an orchard of some kind in France or Italy and gettin the fuck out....Reading up on it tho it seems a bit hit and miss and might actually be hard work...... Anyone else have plans on the back burner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I day dreamed of setting up a bar in San Salvador and living day to day, closing up whenever I fancied and pootling off round central america in a beat up (but mechanically sound) jalopy. Then I remembered that Bar work is actually a ball ache and that I don't speak Spanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42457 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Mine is running a holiday home/gite on the Ardeche, except I fucking hate looking after other people. If they turned up and had given their kids twatful names I'd refuse them the booking. Plan B- this time next year, become a tramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Sell everything and buy a small collection of vines in Vosne-Romanee to become one with the pinot noir. Live on a boat. Anywhere, even a city centre as long as the boat was lush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although as you say, a certain kind of temprement is needed. Me and MrsP stayed in a couple this summer and the owners were really fantastic...Got a tour of the vineyard and the pressing plant and a couple of bottles of free wine. It struck me they were quite old and it did cross my mind to kill the pair (middle of nowhere) and take over...Who'd notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44888 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I would say I dream about this on a daily basis. The trick is to fucking do something about it though, which I never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The euro crisis, umemployment etc has made property in Spain, Portugal and Italy very cheap right now. This might be our one and only window bro.

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Grass is always greener though innit? Who knows for sure if tending to my olive farm in Tuscany would be more or less satisfying than the daily grind in and out of London? Some people are brave, consider life is for living and too short to be a slave to a wage. The rest of us are cowards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
