Photos of Us - You Have Been Warned!!

You know who this is.

This was us way back when we began our new life in the country and were featured in a farming magazine.

(Aw .... look at the size of Rosy.)

Away from the farm.

Sleeping off a bad back caused by the farm :-(

My hair is never quite the same colour ....

... but we both look relaxed.

Days out are always wonderful ....... and we always lark around!!

"Oi mate ...what were you and my wife getting up to?"

Dreaming of our forever home ....

.... but ours will be cosier :-)

Windswept and happy.

Thank you for reading my Blog.

Back tomorrow with some of our favourite foods.

Sue xx

I love you with the scArecrow, it's so nice to have some photos to look back on. Rosie as a puppy, aah, there's nothing like a wriggling, sniffling puppy.

Much love

Comments are now turned off for this old blog of mine. Thank you for reading the posts, I hope you enjoyed them. xx

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
