Exciting Day

The Kune Kunes tucking into their tea in the barn yesterday, there are three in the shot, one is stood in front of the back one..... in the trough!!

As the evening draws in we are sat here warm and cosy in the farmhouse discussing our exciting day. We went to view another potential home for us and our animals today and it has much potential.

We have another to view on Sunday, so there will be much discussion over the next few weeks, as we tweek and adjust our plans to suit the places we have seen.

In the meantime I think it's time for a nice bit of pasta and maybe a piece or two of garlic bread in front of a roaring fire.

Have a lovely weekend.

Hi Jane,

Yes, they have lovely shaggy fur coats, very strokeable, and they love a cuddle.

I love the markings on those piggies :0)
Sue, that is so exciting about the properties...

Have you started any planting yet? We've got a conservatory in this property, and I'm eager to get planting, as it's already warming up in there.
Trouble is, i haven't seen you do anything, so I don't want to start until you do :)
Have a great weekend, and Good Luck for Sunday 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.
