Our New Life in the Country: Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary

Fifty one years ago today, two very special people 'tied the knot'.

Last year we all celebrated with a surprise party for them, had lots of fun and helped them celebrate their love for each other in style.

This year could seem a let down after all that excitement. But it's not. A new milestone has been reached, one of continuing love, of understanding the very being of someone. Of learning afresh each day to love someone for all their foibles and annoying little habits. Something we all do on a daily basis when we share our lives so completely entwined with someone elses.

Young love is fantastic, learning to love each other and adapt.

But always....the best is still to come.

Happy 51st Anniversary Mum and Dad.

We model our lives around you and respect the individual people you are, but as a couple we hold your love in awe.

Love you lots,

Sue and Alan 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

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.
