After six months of searching and a couple of false starts, we bought a farm. This is one of those times where Jean can’t resist the obvious joke, so I’ve had to put up with ‘Brent bought the farm’ for the last couple of weeks.

We haven’t yet paid for it, we do not have the keys and we can’t move in for a couple of months, but we are through the most difficult parts of the process:

• Finding an appropriate property
• Agreeing on a price
• Waiting the three week advertising period to gather matching bids
• Passing the Agricultural Committee

So I can resume blogging!
