Used to write more often
 
Now I've got very sporadic!
 
I live on a sheep and wheat/barley farm in Southern Australia.
 
We have two boys at home and one adult one from my first marriage living in the city.
 
I do love living where I do, but it can be different and sometimes difficult!
*10 year update:
I used to live on a farm, but it got too difficult as the man got too difficult..
So we left, I got a nearly full-time job teaching English & Maths to adults.
And now we live in a small coastal town, my two younger boys and me.
(The adult one is at uni in the city)
We love living in this town, it is quiet and safe, and 2 min. walk to the beach...
10 min walk to the school and shops, trying to buy a house in the town once the farm money is settled..
Still call myself FarmWife though...
