Rosy and Archie

Sneaking up behind them.....

...all cuddled in and oblivious to the world....

..but not for long....I've been spotted!

"Don't look now Archie....it's Mum with that camera thing........ again!"

While the grey clouds hover over the farm and every now and then decide to drop their heavy load of rain on us, some of the farm folk have exactly the right idea!!

I'm off to the polytunnel, at least it's dry in there.

On grey days some of our cats sit in the baskets by the fire and stare longingly at it, hoping it will magically light for them. The rest of them pile onto the beds to cuddle.

Aww Bless them ! Archie is obviously taking advantage of Rosie's softness. I love seeing cats & dogs do this. Dillon loves our three cats but chases all others !

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
