You must have noticed that our city centers are changing and more and more things are being added to our cities to attract new residents.
As well shopping areas there are bars, restaurants and condos in attractive ground springing up everywhere.
There are those who adore the frantic lifestyle that city living brings, and in particular they don't have to drive and find that ever elusive parking space.
The efforts our cities have been making to attract us to live there have been huge, and in some have been quite successful.
Living in the city, however, simply doesn't suit some people.
These are the ones who will happily drive for miles to get where they want and enjoy the space and freedom of living in the country.
They wouldn't live in a city if you paid them.
This goes both ways though, as those who want to move to the country to escape city life also find it a major culture shock.
What if you run out of milk or bread? You may have quite a drive to a store, whereas in the city you were never more than a couple of blocks away.
If you are seriously thinking of giving up city living a and moving out to a smallholding to lead a real country lifestyle there is a lot to consider.
You will still need to visit large supermarkets to get your groceries in bulk and make sure you get everything you will need for at least a week as this will be a long trip that you don't want to do 3-4 times a week.
Stocking up on non perishable goods is always a good idea so you are prepared for any emergencies.
These are things like medicines, toilet paper, canned and frozen goods and personal toiletry items.
Think about these things carefully and get yourself a system that works.
This ensures that your peaceful lifestyle won't be ruined by running out of essential items.
