Tuza;

Your Husband sounds like a solid practical man with your best interests at heart. If I were him there would be no way you could force me off that position. On the other hand, having attempted several times to create the kind of community you dream of I can tell you that it is a major undertaking, and certainly not a project that will work if any of the participants are dragged into it kicking and screaming.

It has been observed that no argument ever changes a person's mind about deeply held convictions. On the other hand I have found example to be highly effective.

If you want to live like a Hobbit then you will need to have the love of growing things. Do you have a garden? Are you familiar with the uses of wild plants? Have you ever actually built an underground house? Or a root cellar? Do you know how to make mead? Bread?

I'm sure you catch my drift here.
