Hello from Sue's Mum, Joan. Thank you for all your inspirational comments.

I always become younger in the head as well as the heart, when Sue's with me, and after a disastrous perm, which I didn't like, I was losing lots of my hair, so I decided to try and have the perm cut out.

With Sue's advice and a picture from a book for my hairdresser to copy off, she did a good job. Once again thanks very much for you kind comments, I love following all of your Blogs but am not a computer expert, yet and am still learning, so I tend not to leave comments on your Blogs!

I am a friendly 'lurker' on all the Blogs on Sue's sidebar, it cheers me up and gives my day a boost, I feel like I have made friends of you all.

With very kind regards,

Joan xx

Hello Joan - glad you're enjoying your new look. Once you've tried leaving a few comments on the blogs you browse through, how about starting one of your own?
We all have a story to tell and I'm sure once you've started you'll find it comes quite easily!!
Good Luck

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

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.
