Hello and welcome! The post was not boring, but quite the opposite. I do think you write well. I think we have some things in common, aside from having spent the precious time you did in the motherland... (haven't made the pilgrimage yet)
I think its great that you put your family first and came back to help your father!
Don't despair you're not alone. There's still a lot of homesteading, traditional minded folk right here in the U.S.
Following and Resteemed.
Oh and by the way. There is a #homesteading tag that you might consider using, I'm sure you'll fit right in!
Thanks schoonercreek. I actually have some homesteadingish post lined up. What's your motherland? The Netherlands as well?
Northern Europe. :-)
