Our New Life in the Country: It's HUGE!!

It's HUGE!!

Our new farm vehicle, delivered yesterday is sat outside the window watching me. It's HUGE, next to my little Corsa it's GINORMOUS!!

We've got this to replace both the Landrover and the van. One vehicle to do the jobs of two, much more cost effective and simpler as is our new ethos. It will be a workhorse of the best kind, so I just had to post a photo while it's all clean and shiny, because with our farm track that won't last long!

I'm off to Manchester in my little car in half an hour, for a lovely couple of days with my Mum and Dad, my boot is loaded up with cabbages and eggs and there's just me to get ready now. The monster will be here with Lovely Hubby as he drives to the butchers to pick up Betty. She will be in large polysterene boxes, neatly packaged and labelled.....not the Betty I knew!!

Back on Monday. Have a lovely weekend.

it looks too pretty to carry about straw and the like. :-) I do like those Mitsus, we just had the dilemma of whether to get another car that can fit anything you need in it to replace our Honda CRV but we decided to get a cheap as chips little Suzuki Jimny instead. :-)

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.
