At this stage, I work hard in order that the long term dream of stepping off the merry go round may happen in about 10-15 years time. When we will get a house in the countryside on a large plot, where there will be lots of fruit and veg growing and probably some animal raising as well.

Then again, I also love what I do at work (well, in the wintertimes anyway, summer is getting more "iffy") - but I can sneak off at lunchtime or come in late the odd time to go to the plot and I have managed to get a lot more going in the garden this year (despite it being much smaller than last year having built out) so I can feed the soul as well as the body in the meantime.
