Our New Life in the Country: Cosy Cats

Cosy Cats

Yesterday was bitterly cold. I worked in the polytunnel for a while, did a spot of watering after fixing the end of the hose which initially flew off with the stream of water and checked all the new growth. It seemed unfair to plant more when it was so cold, so I tucked up what I already had and left them warm and cosy.

After a spot of tidying on the patio I retreated to the warmth of the house and all the boring jobs (housework). When I walked in the living room the above picture is the sight that greeted me, the cats had decided that the settle made for a perfect bunkbed. One level each all warm and cosy. Top cat Toby on the top bunk of course.

They have the right idea.

very cosy & as I write mine are curled up on couches or beds.
Lovely to see the new speckles & glad they are settling in OK.
I love it when one of the cats sits on the hen house contemplating....

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.

Our New Life in the Country is my blog.

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.
