Living in a house with a view onto mountains and lakes

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

By saying it out loud I hope it genuinely comes true. Law of Attraction and all of that. From what I have experienced, you have to dream big and conceptualise something first in your mind for it to become a reality.

Elements of this fantasy soon-to-be include:

Of course the Polish bear by my side.

Myself and he are in good health and are happy.

We have a couple of ultra friendly and cool little dogs: I’m not fussy what breed and would save them from the pound. But I do love poodles, maltese and king charles cockerspaniels for their intelligence and sweet personalities. Love Scottish terriers and jack russells for their chutzpah and pizzazz.

An art studio to make pottery and other things like weaving.

A bedroom in the roof/loft with a skylight that opens to see the stars at night and let sun in.

A large Japanese style onsen bath that is deep and fits two people along with a wooden onsen style bathroom.

Bay windows and a deck overlooking a mountain range and a lake.

An enclosed greenhouse to grow fresh vegetables at all times of year. Along with solar panels and a tank of water to be semi offgrid.

A stove or fireplace powered by electricity.

A great internet connection for remote working.

A library/listening/movie studio that is insulated for sound and where I can keep a vast selection of vinyl, a big collection of books on shelves and a TV projector for watching films with friends of ultra comfy sofas.

A fully equipped kitchen with a large table for entertaining friends.

A job working in a consultancy within an animal rights and environmental advocacy NGO.

An electric car and a close-by railway station so I can get back to civilisation easily and see family and friends.

Here is a cosy video to hear and see the ambience of such a place.

What about you…where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
