I’d heard of cow sharing, where people pay for the purchase and upkeep of a whole, half or quarter of a cow which is then managed by a farmer, and this has always seemed such an easy idea. I’d love to find someone to keep a chicken for me alongside their other chickens and as we [...] We had a great mention in last weekend’s Sunday Times in an article called How to find affordable homes by the sea. What they didn’t mention is the yours2share method of renting a second home: find one or two like-minded people/couples or families who will rent your weekend cottage for (say) a weekend or week each [...] yours2share had a good mention in this month’s edition of The Field in an article called Staying Afloat – surf the let.

I thought it summed up yours2share rather well, even if there was a little flattery involved. But I can see his point, yours2share [...] There have been a couple of particularly mouth watering properties posted on yours2share in the last couple of weeks, so I thought I’d share them with you. In my entirely subjective opinion, and based only on the pictures, and for no addition payment or commission whatsoever, I wish I had a few thousand spare. Unfortunately [...] yours2share has a new category: landshare. This category is for people who want to share land for vegetable plots, gardens, horses and livestock.
