Self-reliance

Having a car now, while less ecologically responsible, makes it much easier to be self reliant and get things done. Shopping trips are made easier with the simple application of a mobile boot to store the shopping in while taking it home. Home improvements are facilitated by being able to drive to hardware and furniture shops (and, again, the boot helps immensely).

Two goats and a thatched roof might well be enough, but it is nice to be able to mould our new home into something more akin to our style. We've been in there almost six months now and, while very homely and comfortable, it could be a bit more us. And I don't just mean more axes in the umbrella stand. I presume any visiting Vikings will have their own.

That said, I do have my eye on a couple of swords - for decorative purposes or training equipment, I have yet to decide.
