I've found a house...it's in Norway

We've been on holiday to Norway skiing a few times, and it's a great place. Like most people we came back thinking how great it would be to live there, but we would never do it really.
My dad died a couple of years ago, and we got really itchy feet, so started looking to move. We spent ages looking for the perfect place to meet out requirements, but to no avail, then Jim, my husband, found a great house with 52 acres, a lake, a barn to convert - sounded amazing! He then told me
it's in Norway - we live in Devon.

We did move eventually, to a house in the countryside with half an acre, and a duck pond. The first winter there we even had enough snow to go sledging, but it's not quite the same.

So 2 years (and a baby) later, Jim found the same farm up for sale again, and the whole idea has kicked off again!

Will we be brave enough to do it; will we have enough money to do it; can we handle the hard work; will we stop being too sensible and follow our hearts to a farm in Norway?
