People often fantasise about trying out different, far better lifestyles, but few actually change the way that they live.

Social commitments, habit systems and inertia stop most people and their dreams cold.

They just don't know that all it takes to realize a fantasy is a small amount of money,

a bit of luck and a whole lot of courage.

Cutting ties that have taken a lifetime to form is a

draining experience and throwing away professional security and all that it's

supposed to bring you in terms of convenience is like losing a piece of oneself. But for me,

the change was like crawling

out of an old, outworn skin.

I decided that we really needed to find

some place in a hilly country, a wood for heating

and cooking.

And most important, isolation.

Just promise me that you'll think about it seriously for a while.

After all, wouldn't you like to live in your own kind of castle in the country?
