Imagine a peaceful household ... No phone ringing, ever, because: no phone.
.
Or imagine a remote cabin in a peaceful natural environment, without phone lines or Internet.

The above pretty well describes where we lived on the far side of the Walsh River, (with no bridge) in Far North Queensland in dry sclerophyll forest. No power bills because no power.

No bridge? Good thing it was a DRY sclerophyll forest.

You must have developed a personal relationship with the washboard.

You said you had
no power, (therefore no power bills) -- that implies no electrical appliances, since it was referring to no phone lines or Internet.
.
If you had a generator or solar power and an electric washing machine, you could easily have had Internet via satellite ISP, too.
Then you could have Amazon, e-mail, pizza delivery by drone, even Blue Apron for dinner, and a blender for smoothies!
So much for rustic cabin life.
Using Skype, you could then have a virtual telephone as well, without hard line hookups.
But you said "without phone lines or Internet" describes where you lived in North Queensland.
