What a lovely hen picture! Have just found you (should be working but am mooching around blogs instead, after months of being a fringe-blogger I seem to have hit the addiction phase!) and had a look at Lavender's Blue 2 too, will sign up to both as I love your style of writing and sense of humour and love to read about people selling things as I do that too.

You're not that far away from me and I do sometimes come down to Oxford so maybe I could visit!

Anyway, great to meet you :-)

SNAP ! take a peek at my picture at the hen house !!! not as many girls as you though. What a laugh they are !!

Do you put vitamins in their water and how do you know if they are getting enough to eat !

My feed looks like porrige - the last was more seedy like. I've taken to giving them wild bird seed when I'm out in the garden - they adore it & now follow me everywhere !!!
" There's Mum " OMG I'm already mum to: two dogs, three cats & a couple of teens !!!

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
