Dogs and Flowers

We arrived back home last night with Sophie, who had been up in Scotland with Lovely Hubby helping his sister get Mum's house ready to go on the market. A sad weekend for them. I had a girly weekend with my Mum, a spot of shopping, a lot of coffee and a lot of memories. We came back home with a truck full of bits and pieces from both houses, bits and pieces full of memories.

First thing this morning it was time to get my two little hooligans out of kennels, to say they were pleased to see me would be an understatement.

After a mad half hour running round the paddocks they settled down to lie in the sun. Its been a calming day after a busy weekend.

Lovely flowers like the ones in the picture at the top are all around the house. We finished this evening off with a walk through the woods trying in vain not to stand on too many Bluebells, it's looking gorgeous.

It is always a difficult time sorting out a home for sale - but esp when you are feeling bereft. I am sure your Mum is really glad of your loving support right now.

Love and blessings x

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

I use it to chart the day by day, week by week, year by year goings on in mine and Lovely Hubby's life. In it I also express my views and opinions, and say what I do and occasionally how I do it. I am hoping that this will prove to be a useful reminder for myself of how we did things, as we continue in our learning process.

If you chose to follow my practices it is assumed that you will do so with care and consideration, and question where necessary any methods or techniques I use to your own satisfaction and match them to your own circumstances.
