Meh, take it from me...cows (or sheep) are too much like hard work. The proper prerequisites for island living, six laying hens, four laying ducks and a pair of permanently angry looking geese that'll fight you for the eggs every morning ...bliss.
It's easy to forget that where I live, even though it's technically the UK, is on a lattitude (59°N) midway between Bergen and Stavanger in Norway...so we're north enough to make the Aurora Borealis a reasonably common occurrence during spring or autumn equinoxes. We also have near zero light pollution, the closest street lights are almost 40 miles south of us in Kirkwall on the main island
