Our New Life in the Country: Car Boot goodies from the weekend.

Wednesday, 6 May 2009

Car Boot goodies from the weekend.

Sunday morning found us still talking about pigs, but definitely in the mood for a good browse, and boy what goodies we found. The car boot sale at Warborough was brilliant, we got all of the above for less than £30. It's nice when things go right!!

Monday saw us nipping to the Stadhampton Car Boot for a quick look around before the rain set in. W

This time we got lots of strawberry plants to fill my new birthday pressie of a strawberry tub, and lots of egg cups.

I've been collecting egg cups again since Lovely Hubbys' Mum came to stay and he gave her a boiled egg in a plastic light fitting (!!) unscrewed from the lamp because he couldn't find any egg cups. Now he only has to open any cupboard and he gets showered with the things!!

Hubby said I wouldn't post this picture.....but what the heck!!

(And no...my feet are not really that big, I've borrowed my sons size 12 wellies for treading in purposes!!)

Hey Sue, I can't believe your car boot sale goodies - that is a great load of swag to have!! So, when do you start painting it all, or is it staying natural? Thanks for your comment - we're still re-living the P!nk extravaganza! Have a great rest of the week.

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
