Our New Life in the Country: The View

The View

Our view from home is the view you can see in the header photograph at the top of the blog. As you travel along the road it obviously changes as the hills follow the contours of the River Conwy.

Usually I can't capture the changing view as I'm driving the car, and even when I'm a passenger we are too low down in the car or truck to fully do it justice. But the other day we went to the Tearooms at Bodnant and driving down from the carpark I just had to pull over and snap at the wonderful vista before me.

We're so lucky to have found this beautiful part of Wales to call our own.

What a wonderful view! I think that you are very, very lucky indeed and it is so nice that you appreciate your surroundings so much. Doesn't North Wales look glorious in the sunshine?!! Kind regards, Louise S, Cheshire

Essex is so flat and uninteresting but it does have lovely beaches. I love Wales because its so lumpy and bumpy with lots to see. You are indeed very lucky.

When I first came to live up here with my previous husband on our retirement in 1987 I was always saying 'I can't believe we actually live somewhere as beautiful as this.' We are so lucky aren't we?

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.

Our New Life in the Country is my blog.

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.

If you chose to follow my practices it is assumed that you will do so with care and consideration, and question where necessary any methods or techniques I use to your own satisfaction and match them to your own circumstances.
