Our New Life in the Country: Role Reversal

Friday 5 February 2016

Role Reversal

In a complete reversal of roles Suky was sleeping almost on top of Mavis yesterday.

They are funny little things both squeezing themselves into the smallest of the dog beds when there were two empty large dog beds next to the Aga. Oh well they must have been comfy, they stayed like this for quite a while.

Who needs a duvet when you have one of your best friends to cuddle into.

And while I was crouching down to get the photos we got photobombed by a certain Ginger chappy after a drink of water ;-)

Absolutely wonderful photographs - bless them! Isn't it lovely that they get on so well. I get the impression Rosy likes to sleep on her own, but Mavis and Suky (and Ginger) are cuddle buckets - so sweet. Regards, Louise S, Cheshire.

Ginger looks to be a sweetie and no fear of the dogs.

What absolute cuties - all 3 of them. I love your posts when it includes the animals. I confess to having a soft spot for Mavis. After reading about her terrible ordeal when she was with the b*stards who treated her so badly :-( and then she was rescued by 'Mummy' :-) Mavis is also my middle name! :-o Best wishes for the weekend.

They look so happy, Our two mutts play fight for most of the day, then seek each other out for night-time snuggles.

Ooh.... I do so want a little dog, but I know the cat would hate it. Which came first, cat or dogs?

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
