Mmmm......yummy!!

Just a little post to show you what we had as part of our tea last night, the first of our potatoes.

The leaves had some spots on so we thought we would lift these to see if the potatoes were okay, and yes they were, they were gorgeous. Served simply with a pat of butter and a sprinkle of parsley, they went lovely with some salmon and homegrown beetroot.

Well, I'm afraid that's it for now, I'm off to finish loading the car for the Aylesbury Farmers Market, it's a glorious day here in sunny Oxfordshire, so fingers crossed for a good day at the market.

Have a good day yourself.

I adore new potatoes, I even love them cold from the fridge (cooked, of course!) Hope the farmers' market goes well.

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.
