Our New Life in the Country: Healthy Breakfasts

Healthy Breakfasts

Our strawberries are wonderful we are adding them to desserts and breakfasts and enjoying every single one. Any that are left over each day get popped into the freezer, and at the end of Strawberry season I will make another batch of Strawberry Conserve to make the flavour of Summer last even longer.

I was sent this wonderful info-graphic a couple of days ago and thought you might like a peek. It shows just how much more we are growing for ourselves in this country now, I bet the figures are even higher actually. I hope the link works it's a brilliant graphic.

A Brilliant Info-Graphic - NO LONGER AVAILABLE sorry!!

Wow that is pretty impressive. I much prefer eating food I know is homegrown or homemade, it always seems to taste so much nicer : ) xxx

What about strawberry coulis? It can be frozen too and can be enjoyed any time later with desserts or yoghurts! It brings a touch of summer during winter, even if nothing can replace fresh fruit! :)

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.
