Ooops......

Just LOOK at all those bags Mum's got.....

...bet none of it's for us though...better carry on getting stuck in to the pig food!!

Yep......I went wild in the aisles.....all my money is gone from this weeks housekeeping, none left for Spotty Jug......Ooops indeed. On the plus side there is cider in the fridge, a tube of Pringles to have with it and lots of potatoes and pasta to make some lovely meals with next week, oh and did I mention the bottle of wine!! The sun has gone to my head.

Have a lovely weekend, let's hope this glorious weather lasts.

I love that first picture of the pigs! I found a spotted jug at a market at the weekend and thought of you, totally forgot to go back and get it due to being distracted by some fabric so also have no money to go into any jug!
Hope you ejoyed your treats, so nice to have wine and cider in the sun (safe drinking at all times of course!!)
Take care

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
