Computer Stuff

Potatoes chitting on the kitchen windowsill.

Sometimes you just have to get stuck into the 'computer stuff' and over the last few days I've somehow managed to update our website to include pictures of some of this years arrivals. Now it's all done I can at last return to my first love - the planting.

I feel a real urge now to get the kitchen garden up and running, I'm still holding back a little as there could still be some overnight frosts, but at least now almost all the beds are weeded, covered and prepared for the things that are growing in the polytunnel ready to fill them. I need to get back in there this afternoon and plant as many cabbages as I can find, I know a few pigs that are partial to the odd cabbage!!

If you would like to take a look at a my endeavours follow this link to take you to our website -

and let me know what you think!!

Now I'm off planting, have a good day.

The photo of your potatoes chitting makes me feel totally inadequate...I spread mine out on old towels flung on top of the washing machine and tumble dryer!
Off to look at the web site...

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

Our New Life in the Country is my blog.

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.

If you chose to follow my practices it is assumed that you will do so with care and consideration, and question where necessary any methods or techniques I use to your own satisfaction and match them to your own circumstances.
