Our New Life in the Country: Pontbrenmydyr 2015

Pontbrenmydyr 2015

Pontbrenmydyr is the lovely little National Trust cottage we stayed in for three days over my birthday weekend in April 2015.

As I have been asked a few times for more photos of it, here they are.

The old oven ...

... and where the fire would have been lit to heat it up.

The Larder.

Building work on the non- National Trust property next door meant we got a 15% reduction on the price of our stay. The only impact on us was a bit of scaffolding in the garden, they were gone by the time we arrived on Friday and weren't even working over the weekend.

The central heating system.

The wood store.

The house was run on solar power.

The old pig sty.

Our nearest neighbours.

The birthday breakfast :-)

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

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.
