Our New Life in the Country: Dog tired.....

Dog tired.....

Please don't make me go for another walk ...

On a dull, cold March day sometimes it's just fine to snuggle up on the sofa and relax. If only I could be as chilled out as Sophie. I seem to flit from job to job always busy, always something to do. I have decided to make more of an effort to sit back, chill out and read some of the many, many books we have. Mostly my unread books are about things we still have to learn as we embark on this new way of life, rearing chickens, keeping pigs, planting veggies etc etc. ... so it's still work right!!

Just a lovely picture of some flowers in the jug on my workroom windowsill.

The rest of the room is not nearly as neat and pretty.........yet!!

I've had to turn the computer screen to one side - I can't possibly let my dogs see yours on the sofa - they are so not allowed on the furniture but stare longingly at it when-ever we are sat there!!!

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.

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.
