Snacking on the windfalls.......

See this Poppy it's a windfall....really yummy....

... come over Daisy and have a look it's an apple. You have to peck, peck, peck really fast to eat lots of it before the big girls spot you have it and come and pinch it off you.

What was that noise.....

..I'll rush off and investigate.....

... oops, what was it Mum said about eating it before the big girls come....must get back.

I don't know where Daisy and Mum have gone but I'll guard this yummy thing til they get back.

What did Mum say.....peck, peck peck.

Crikes I'm still on my own!!

Happy little Pekins, with lots of snacks to search for.

All's well in Chicken World.

Am so happy that I found your blog, my blog might seem a little different , but am moving to the country in 6 months and to be hones am a bit scared!! Family will be moving with me which will help but am so scared, am not a city gal, I love to go camping and swimming in lovely rivers. Whenever I have time off , I never think or partying like a rock star I think of bomb fires and camping, but I guess the change will still affect me. Any advice? By the way love your blog! It makes me want to sit in a front porch holding a cup of coffee in my hand and telling stories.

aw so cute! It's our ducks that go crazy for the windfall! I was scared they were going to get drunk as a lot of the apples started to ferment in the heat - I had visions of ducks staggering into the stream and making fools of themselves!

They are so beautiful aren't they? I do wish people would leave animals alone and stop eating them.

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.

Sue xx
