Happy Mothering Sunday

Who elses' Mum would rush out first thing in the morning to cuddle a chicken.

Sorry Mum that you're not dressed on the photo, that you have no make up on, that you haven't even run a brush through your hair, but this photo shows the Mum I love, as she is, full of love for everyone, full of concern for a chicken.......simply being a Mum.

My other Mum, Jessie, sadly no longer here in person with us but deep in our hearts, always with a smile and a laugh, today we're thinking of you with love and with happy memories. You can't be that far away we can still feel your love.

And she isn't really giving Lovely Hubby the finger in this picture, she's showing him her cut so he can put a plaster on it. She laughed so hard when we described this photo to her, I can still hear the giggles.

Happy Mothering Sunday to you both, we love you to bits, now, forever and always.

Sue and Alan xxxx

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
