Nice to see your happiness during your busy time as you built up your new life. I wish healthy and joyful life in your beautiful, well planned and built house and yard. Good luck!
The thing I love the most about my garden is the cherry tree. It started ripening in the first half of May. I just sneak out and start grazing delicious, homegrown, crunchy cherries. I'm almost out of the stuff though, as I gave a lot of my precious things to friends and family. My neighbor has 2 giant, and I mean GIANT cherry trees, and my bedroom window is looking straight at them. I'm howling at the trees during full moon. I totally recommend it, if you don't have one. You can go to a tree school and buy and plant one that will yield you fruits in a year or two. I think you need to plant them either early spring or at the start of autumn. I plan to plant some apricot in 3 months and I think another cherry tree that ripens a bit later in the summer, so I will have a steady supply of the substance all through summer.
yes we have a cherry tree, also planted silva , apricot, peach. also we have 2 pear trees, my favourite is growing the veg garden and have fresh salad every day if I need, what I don't use goes to the chickens and geese, so there getting good diet too, which shows in there eggs and meat, great life. the best of all is not having to go to work.
@@ourlifeafter50 Yes, I remember reading something about how "factory chicken" lack some nutrients in their eggs, if they do not receive "real food". I gotta admit though, the idea of eating salad freaks me out. I am just back from my garden, we have a few square meters of salad, but I just yeeted a fat slug off it. I keep telling my wife not to put salad in my food. I guess I lack the French genes for that kind of stuff. I'm more of a radish guy myself. Peas are also fantastic.
Thank you for your comments, the reason why I’m in Hungary is because I’m married to a Hungarian citizen, she speaks fluent Hungarian, otherwise we would not be living here. It would be very difficult to live here if you don’t speak the language, English is not spoken much unless you live in Budapest, even then it’s difficult, living in the countryside, very few speak English. So I really can’t help you out here. Getting settled status isn’t easy.
There are expat community groups on FaceBook and I imagine other places. Younger people very likely speak English to some degree. With today's tech it is not necessary for your everyday life though, as you can just have your phone translate everything live.
@@ourlifeafter50 Thanks for that, thing of buying 2 houses ( 1 for ANB ) to that would be a business and can get in that way! Where are you in Hungary? Many Thanks Steve Brown
@@stephenbrown3249 yes, I think opening a business does help, I'm not sure on the process as I didn't come to work lol.if you work, you can then pay NI therefore get the healthcare. I did ask if I could pay contributions to NI, they said no, I have to work, for my wife she can pay into it and not work, which we doing, but saying that she still had her Hungarian NI Number even though she also has a uk ni number, as worked for 15 straight years when in the uk, still very strange that I can't. I do know though, for life saving accidents or heart attack Bypass etc, they will still give you treatment in A&E. we live in the country, in and around the Bekes County.
@@ourlifeafter50 my wife and are both retired i have a state pension plus private pension we thought buying a property plus second property and using it as a holiday let would allow us into hungary is this feasible ?
@@stephenbrown3249 as far as I am aware, foreign citizens cannot buy arable land, but can buy property. Since leaving the EU, you can only stay 3 months and not return for 3 months unless you get a right to remain card.You have to apply beforehand, contact the Hungarian Embassy in London.They can give you all the correct information.
@@davidmoore9385 excellent, beautiful part of the country, near the mountains and bukk national park. Also gets good snow. Hope you will be happy there :-)
Hello. Your project is really informative. I am a PhD student, doing research on sustainable lifestyle and self-sufficiency. Is there any way to connect with you?
Your place in Hungary, looks so much better.
Congratulations!!!!
Enjoy your life, you owe it to yourself.
Thank you so much

Hi, we are considering moving to Hungary (Lake Balaton) from Lancaster UK, how did you do it now we are not in the EU?
