Thank You

Flowers for you.....Thank You.

Thank you to all the lovely readers of my Blog who took the time to comment yesterday. It meant SO much.

Lovely Hubby is home from work today and taking charge of the farm. I'm off out, shopping and browsing the garden centre for seeds.

I am wearing clean jeans and fingers crossed, for one day, and one day only they will stay that way!!

The kitchen windowsill.........proof that Spring is on the way!!

Sorry I wasn't around to add my comment yesterday Sue. Your words really helped me very much last week when I was creaking under the pressure, so I hope you'll accept my retrospective warm wishes today.

This isn't the good life, it's real life. And that's tough as anything sometimes. But spring is coming and that mud will go away - promise!

Hope you have had an indulgent day - buying seeds ! I loved hearing about the scarecrows - and can just imagine a row of them at the bus stop! what a laugh.

Have awful back pain - couldn't get up my doorstep earlier - thought DD would have to call the fire brigade or something ! She had to take Dillon's lead as I was scared of being pulled over and I made her do all the poop scoops - if I'd bent over I really don't think I could have straightened again !

Hope you are feeling brighter and lovely hubby done all the chores xx

I'm so sorry you had a horrid day, the dullness and weather and cold does get to you, but your strength shows in your ability to get back up and into a new day. Big hugs from Land Cuckoo, from our chooks and furry ones too. Spring is coming, the days are getting longer and lighter and soon the ground will be warming up ready to show off those bulbs just waiting to burst into flower to cheer us up.
Take care Sue,
Love Sarah x

Comments are now turned off for this old blog of mine. Thank you for reading the posts, I hope you enjoyed them. xx

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
