Well, I have finally bought land and a farmhouse on Tuscany Island.
The situation is gorgeous – I’m on a slope down from the Tuscan castle that stands at the centre of the land, so I have the castle behind me, and gentle hills in front of me, running down to the sea, where I have access to the landing stage. The water front itself is public, but if I want, I can keep a small boat pulled up on the shore and ready for when I want to go sailing (although I might just rezz it when I want it).
I actually bought a double plot so that I would have plenty of land about me, and not feel too crowded and, of course, lots of prims to play with. Not that having lots of prims will be a huge help when, in fact, I will probably be indulging in some prim porn.
So why am I sharing this with you, my readers? Well, it is my intention to post here regularly on the pleasures and pitfalls, trials and tribulations of becoming a landowner and furnishing a home and a small estate. This is something in the spirit of the regular feature in the magazine which explains a series of “How to” carry out standard tasks – and these articles together with what I write here about house owning, are going to become part of the website.
So – let me know what you think!
