Ooooh.....it must be Christmas!!

Every year the company Lovely Hubby works through, send us a little gift in appreciation of his hard work, a food hamper from Fortnum and Mason, I must say I'm always impressed.

This year he must have worked even harder than usual....we have the bigger version.....I'm very, very impressed.

We haven't unpacked it yet, it's sat beside the Christmas tree, we were going to last night but we both fell asleep on the sofa while watching the Edwardian Farm...zzzzz!!

Tonight we will investigate what goodies it contains, very appropriate as Lovely Hubby breaks up for his Christmas holidays today and we will be together on the farm for the next couple of weeks.

What a superb gift. I just love the hamper itself. What will you use it for after Christmas? Your hubby has obviously worked very hard this year and Santa has been watching! Hope you both have a super couple of weeks together on the farm and a wonderful festive season. Ann x

How lovely!
I love F&M.....keep looking on ebay to buy a hamper case like that, but they are always going for too much!

Edwardian farm was good last night!

Have a lovely time undoing the foodie goodness!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.
