Our New Life in the Country: Almost back......

Monday, 18 October 2010

Almost back......

We're almost back......we've still got to get our computer files re-installed, but for the moment we have a skeleton system going. Everything went quite well except for us losing all of the accounts that Lovely Hubby had just finished doing. So yesterday evening was like Groundhog Day for him with a complete re-doing of the figures.

Soon I'll have all my photos back and will be able to show you pictures of the farm. But for now I leave you with a picture of the cutie pies, caught cat/dog napping yesterday afternoon, shortly after the photo was taken Rosy was unceremoniously kicked out of the bed by Archie so he could stretch out luxuriously.

The weekend was spent preparing the ground for the new residents, we are picking them up on Sunday, and we can't wait, three bundles of cuteness to rival Archie and Rosy.

On our dog walk this morning we came upon a field of geese all congregating ready for their migration to warmer climes, and a wonderful sight has just occurred as I sit here by the window typing this post, they've just flown past in V formation honking as if saying their farewells.....a lovely sight, if only I had had my camera!!

Hello Sue
What a gorgeous photo - it deserves to be a greeting card !
I love the story about the geese - they were definitely talking to you as they passed over and wishing you well with your search for a plot of your own :-)
Have a lovely week,

Oh, the geese leaving. The sound of honking, huge rhythmic wing beats, and the v formation makes me feel so sad at this time of year. Saying goodbye to Canada geese means saying goodbye to good weather. The geese get to leave for the harsh winter and we have to stay.
Hurry home, geese.

You are certainly keeping us in suspense Sue. Whatever are you introducing to the farm? I can't wait to find out! Glad your computering is nearly sorted out. Autumn is making itself known with cold air, clear skies and falling leaves. Get the logs burning and your long johns out of mothballs! Ann x

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.
