Our New Life in the Country: Opposite the Back Door

Opposite the Back Door

Opposite the back door and just to the left of the herb sinks.

The gorgeous Rhododendron bush, a gentle shade of peachy pink.

The view from the other side of the herb sinks. The Wendy House in the Tree is just to the left of the swings, now gloriously hidden from view with fresh green foliage on all the trees.

The herbs sinks in the middle, with the Clematis laden walkway to the woodland beyond.

Back tomorrow. Hope your weekend is going well.

You know what really stands out for me in these pictures? How wonderfully green your garden is. We're coming to the end of a very dry autumn, which followed a very hot and dry summer, and the frosts have started but there's still no rain. No surprise then that our garden is a little sparse: Lots of dirt patches and the grass is tinged with patches of brown...Quite the contrast!

P.S. Please head over to my blog if you have not already. I have a surprise for you. ;)

You don't happen to open your garden do you Sue? LOL! You really should, it's beautiful! I love the clematis arch. And your swing is so romantic, I can just picture you and OH there!

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
