Wonderful to be far from our home? (3,2,4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

out of this world

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wonderful' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'far from our home?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found in the answer.
'home?' could be 'toft' (I have seen 'Old home' mean 'toft' so perhaps 'home' could also mean 'toft') and 'toft' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for out of this world that I've seen before include "Striking" , "Wonderful" , "astronauts fired here" , "ET was" , "brilliant?" .)
