Our New Life in the Country: Special Pressie for Granny

Special Pressie for Granny

What do you get a very special lady for her birthday?

She doesn't eat chocolate, I've been banned from buying flowers (haha....she'll see), she lives in a lovely house surrounded with things we've given her over the years, but she hates clutter so that has to stop. You can give her a big box of goodies to pamper herself and you can arrange for your new chickens (well now they're hens!) to lay their very first eggs on her birthday.

Thank you to two of the new girls for solving my birthday present dilemma.

Happy Birthday Mum

70 today.....

but sshhhh...I won't tell anyone!!

Have a wonderful birthday.

(The normal sized egg belongs to Coco, and is there for comparison.)

Perfect pressie.
We are taking my mum to her oldest friend's 80th birthday lunch next Sat. She says no pressies but I have known this woman my whole life - her husband gave the speech at my wedding- so I said to mum, " I know, I'll make up a basket filled with egs " Perfect

This was my Blog, just me writing about our day to day life learning all about and then living the smallholding life. First we started on a farm in Oxfordshire, then we moved to a smaller place in Berkshire (both in England) and then we found a place of our very own at the bottom of a hillside in North Wales. Along for the ride were all our various animals, and we ended up with just our dogs, Suky and Mavis, our cat Ginger .... who secretly thinks he's one of the canine gang, a sheep called Ethel who wandered in off the road and stayed... and a roving band of egg laying chickens that live cheek by jowl with the local wildlife.

We grow our own fruit and vegetables, selling surplus plants and edibles at the gate. We sell the eggs the chickens lay, we reuse, recycle and rethink ... and life ticks over at a pace that suits us.

It was simply the wild and wacky ramblings of a 50 something townie turned country girl called Sue, who lost her heart to a sailor and started a new life in the country .... many years ago. On a path that took us from Cumbria to Oxfordshire, to Berkshire and then we found our home at the bottom of a wet and windy Welsh hillside by a busy main road.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee and relax into a world of dogs, cats, chickens, polytunnels and veggies with the occasional grass munching sheep thrown in for good measure.

I use it to chart the day by day, week by week, year by year goings on in mine and Lovely Hubby's life. In it I also express my views and opinions, and say what I do and occasionally how I do it. I am hoping that this will prove to be a useful reminder for myself of how we did things, as we continue in our learning process.
