Our New Life in the Country: Naughty Pussycat!!

Naughty Pussycat!!

We have just harvested all the early potatoes....I know, slightly late!! Overnight Archie must have decided the smell of the great outdoors was just what he wanted to sleep with, and we came down this morning to find him fast asleep with the potatoes on the kitchen table.

Very cute....but very naughty!

Only a short post today, as I am in the middle of some research. The internet is proving invaluable, I have been communicating with a lovely lady in America, getting some pictures and looking on the experts websites for more information. We have had a very unusual development here on the farm. All will be revealed tomorrow. I need to get you an up to date photo of someone..........!

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
