Flyte so Fancy chicken coops I think. We looked at them for our 'girls', but made our own in the end. Yours are really posh and their chicken world is great. Our girls live a bit more randomly but look very at home on our lawn/grass come field! and are clearing up our slugs too. Hope you have had a great BH and done well at the boot sale. Look forward to more of your stories. You can see our girls at www.foreveryoung-annsblog.blogspot.
Best wishes. Ann

It looks simply stunning. :-) I'm making pasta sauce as you suggested in an earlier post using slightly soft but perfectly edible veg from my fridge. :-)

This post made me think of the Ladybird book the Farm - except I don't think they had a Cowovan ;)

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
