A Tiring Weekend

The picture that sums up our weekend.

Lovely Hubby only sat down for a breather on Sunday afternoon and within minutes he was fast asleep. Rosy and Archie soon found him, and decided that after a day's running around after each other a nap would be an excellent idea.

I'll be back tomorrow with pictures of just why LH is SO tired.

Hope your weekend was as successful as ours.

Ha - a little cat er, dog nap !
I decided to attack the overgrown ditch which runs along the back garden between us & the farmer's field behind. I enlisted teenage helpers.
They did such a poor job I told them "there would be repercussions!" Neither likes
"gardening"
I explained it was maintenance not gardening & that we'd always been expected to help at home and had far bigger gardens to maintain.

The best thing I did all weekend was to put the oven on - go to get the joint of lamb and realise I hadn't bought one !!!! We had a lovely meal out at the pub !

Dear Sue
Such a lovely photo! Cat's always have to sleep on the top deck don't they? I hope you both get plenty more rest soon, it looks like you've had a very busy time.
Happy days,

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

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.
