Life is sometimes sort of okay because...

Try looking for some little private camp-sites, JBC. There are a lot of them about in England, tucked away in odd places, maybe also over there too. It's off-season now so you might be able to get a cheap pitch - especially if you pitch-in with the site's winter maintenance.

Thanks Sharky. I know you've had similar experiences!  I've actually tried a few sites like the ones you're talking about; they pretty much all close for the winter months except for one or two which are unplumbed and very hard to get to. I haven't ruled them out entirely but I'm exploring other options first.

I hear there's a field in Glenamuck going a-begging.  Neighbours seem like right cold thugs, mind.

Good luck with the hunt Jayzus, if I hear of anything I'll drop you a PM.

For the 5 readers who care; life is tittering between 'Spugs', 'Sort of Okay', and 'Drokking Fantastic' for me.
It's all a bit surreal...The heart-stopping 'Sold' sign is now up.
No going back! 

Here's a pic of my site (and unbelievable view).

That's gorgeous.

You're a sick man, TB.


Link, thanks a million; and your own site looks bleedin' deadly! Hope it all goes well, keep us posted.

Hootin' heck!  Magnificent. Expect plenty of 3rd Party Appeals on spurious grounds!

Looks class Link, what a view!

Jayzus, Achill has a great campsite, does mobile homes too, might be a bit of a commute though...http://www.achillcamping.com/

Sheridan, I think building your own home is more common in rural Ireland, well over half the people I work with would have built their own.

My main memory of driving around Donegal is the house-building; where they weren't building their own (it's an innate ability), the plots had weatherproofed paperwork on display so that no-one else could start theirs. Like the Wild West but more impressive. I miss Ireland.

Thanks David, looks great but most of my work is in Dublin, sadly!

Maybe find a nice Romany girl to settle down wander 'round with?

BECAUSE
I have booked my tickets to the UK for Christmas,

which makes me all pleased, proud, nostalgic and fuzzy at the same time. its sort of OK as the price was slightly for five of us.
but that aside.  We are in the UK for Christmas.

that's nice, can you not get rain where you live?

Mind you, they are predicting a terrible snowy winter so you might get stuck here
