If I won the Lottery tonight...

I'd faint!

Also I'd get to do something I've worked out in the last few days. I've been teasing myself looking through the houses for sale on Rightmove, checking out all the quarter-of-a-million-pound own pool, acres of land type places for sale around the country and it occured to me that it would be a great idea to buy an old farm (which seem to go for anything from £150,000 to £800,000) and convert it to a Campsite, with the old barns and outbuildings being turned into dormitories and a canteen for youth groups like the Boys' Brigade or the Scouts to use, or for using as a base for Corporate outward bound weekends and the like.

One thing I'd offer is the opportunity to hire specialised tents. I've seen a place that will make you a genuine Native American Teepee, and all sorts of other historical style tents. I'd love to have a stock of Teepees and offer Pagan events, with a sweat lodge and huge campfire and so on. Waht a wonderful way of celebrating the Sabbats!

Of course there's much more I'd do with a Lottery win, but this one would suit my longing for the Country life and for the outdoors. And if I happened to find a place near Snowdonia, well, so much the better...
