Our New Life in the Country: Sad days, happy days......

Sad days, happy days......

Amid all these sad days we have two happy days this week, Kyle our grandson is 7 years old today, and on Friday his lovely sister Shelbie is 12 years old, how time flies.

Shelbie, swimming with dolphins last month, a lovely picture, stolen completely unashamedly from her Mum's Facebook page, gorgeous girl.

These pictures, although slightly out of date show Kyle enjoying a wonderful day at his Great Grandads house two and a half years ago.

Lots of laughs, playing with Sophie the Border Collie and seeing how far a little rubber man would stretch!! We know how to have real fun in our family.

Here with his Dad, deep in concentration watching Sophie.

Happy Birthday Kyle.

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
