[QUOTE="davieh3350, post: 5050192, member: 52292"] Now then [USER=47276]@Old McDonald[/USER] a bit fresher so I'll have a crack(y) Better that you joined in late, than never:) I I thought I'd leave this to go quiet for a while whilst I gave things a think over (done a bit of thinking and acting though, it's not been forgotten) there's a few on here that will gain a lot from reading your views, so it is better everyone gets a read. The country around here is a challenge... Take a look at the Welcome To Highland Perthshire thread in pics and vids section, dalnaspidal was looking fantastic on Saturday in the evening light with the mountains still covered with drift, unfortunately a flat battery stopped me taking some shots for you. it's not the quality of the land that's making me restless. I've decided that as soon as I hear that the older couple staying in the farmhouse on one piece I have are leaving, I'm going to give my two friends (the ex first) a chance to take it on, by putting their name to the owner. If I can get it over to someone who my dad likes it'll ease the guilt of giving it up, as he would HATE it if the other tenant on the estate got it, which would more than likely happen if I just walked away. I think I could get away with sub letting one 30 acre field out if I did go. The main holding, the bit that I'm most attached to I may be able to let the landlord take back and let him run a few of his animals on for a few years they're pretty understanding of my situation and I think I'd get it back. I sat down last Thursday night and battered out an email to a welding/engineering company in Portage La Prairie, the town nearest to the farm where I was in Manitoba. I gave them a brief run down on what I could do and my situation about giving up what I had here, and asked them whether they would consider a foreign employee for a 3 month trial period during the winter. I also offered to pay their costs of getting a visa. I got a reply saying it had been passed on to the relevant person for consideration. I won't hold my breath for too long though... I thought this would be the way to go, a trial period in the harshest of the winter. The cold isn't so much of a problem, but it could be the length of time where it is just plain white that could get monotonous. I'd like to try being an employee, but I'm not going to just go get a job standing doing repetitive welding jobs, I'd push to get up the ladder and get to the stage where I'm nearly my own boss, but without the hassle of running the whole lot. I've no desire to move somewhere else in the uk to work. Other parts of Canada, some bits of the US, Germany and even Sardinia, but I thought I'd stick to the area I was familiar with out there first. Will need to come back to this later. [/QUOTE]
