No problem with your english!

1. I have a small plot of land, not big enough to call a proper farm. And a small, old log house in a need of heavy renovating. Located in the countryside about 100 km north of Tampere.
2. I earn my money as an independent massage therapist. I drive to people's homes. I like the work, the old folks still remember that when they were children there were old folk healers going from house to house giving treatments to people. So I feel I'm continuation of that tradition. I make about the amount of money which is officially considered "poverty limit" in Finland. But being able to grow and fish part of my food, I can enjoy my life with this small income. I hope that year by year I can become more self-sufficient.
3. Land in itself doesn't cost very much, but everything on it does =) I mean, if you want to buy enough forest of your own, you have to pay for the trees on the land, and in that case the price becomes so high that you have to spend your life-time working and paying a loan to a bank... A small, barely livable house like mine costs about 30 000 euros. But a place suitable for hosting tourists might be far more valuable, I mean like 5 times more than my house.

I also feel that I'd like to comment on my behalf that some of my friends are homosexuals, and they are great, responsible, good and loving persons. So I have no issue with that - I believe it is a natural phenomenon. But I'm not to force my opinion on others. And, for the sake of clarity, I agree that today's world has too much of de-personalized over-sexualism (be it in form of homo- or hetero sexuality; pornography is always pornography, and that is completely different thing from honest love).
