What is your natural environment?

[Owl-Light]

Where do you feel most at at home?

For me its British Broadleaf Woodlands (high forest). The more Ancient the better and near lakes and rivers. Yet I don't like salt water and the Sea at all, even though I am interested in what lives in there. Some how its alien territory for me *shrug*

But you may love it?
Or perhaps its the Moors for you or the Mountains?
Or even the city?

Do tell

for me it can be any type of natural environment - anywhere where you can hear birds singing, insects buzzing and no cars or people (I wouldn't mind bumping into the occasional like-minded WABer )

Ancient Boreal Forest like the Bialowieskiej on the Poland Belaruss border, I spent 6 months there in 1985. Wolves, wisent, boar, lynx, beaver & tarpan all in that forest , I didn't want to come home, it felt like I was born there but that's another story. I also like rugged landscape, mountains, rocks & valleys, where I can see the Eagle soar. I need space to see the sky.

Ah yes you mentioned Bialowieskiej in a post I replied to on WATW but it don't seem like many people frequent the site yet.

A lot of the time I think my natural envronment is under the duvet.....
However, when out about, there's something about heathland. I felt weirdly right at home when I was working in Suffolk for 6 months.....

I agree with you Sheryl, got to have a bumbleing (sp?) brook going through it though and many types of native tree. I could live in it and do woodcraft, coppicing the hazels and such like, build a log cabin, a tree house.........Ahhhhhhhhh
Back to reality, I agree with Gill, under the duvet is a great place to be

Its amazingly difficult to get permission to build a log cabin or any type of house in a British wood, or I'd be off living in one like a shot! Bowdie would insist on there being a broadband connection before he could cope with it though

I remember watching a very interesting episode of Grand Designs where a chap called Ben Law (with a little help from his friends) built a very cool house from sweet chestnut right in the middle of the woods. It was only due to the nature of his work - he needs to be on site to keep an eye on things all the time - that it was allowed (the only reason the authorities will accept as I understand it). Hang on I'll go find a link...

Here's one: Linky

See, that would do for me. What a great lifestyle (a girl can dream...)
Keep meaning to get hold of one of his books, they look interesting.

Under the duvet Gill? Oh yes, but in my little house in the woods

Didn't he only get to do this on the understanding that it's demolished when he leaves or dies?

I believe he could pass it on to his son if he continues to do the same work but otherwise yes you're right I think. Don't quote me on that though.
