Our New Life in the Country

Sunday, 6 May 2012

Today we're off to the Car Boot sale we have two cars FULL of STUFF. STUFF we don't need, STUFF we can't fit in the house, STUFF that was once owned by my Dad or Lovely Hubbys Mum, STUFF full of memories.

But IT IS just STUFF.

We are selling to folk that want stuff, that maybe need stuff, that's up to them.

Wish us luck we want to come home with a bit of cash and a lot of space (ie... NO stuff).

Have you noticed that if you say (or write) the same word over and over it loses all meaning!

Remember if you choose to Follow this Blog anytime between 3rd May and the 11th May, 50p will be donated by Lovely Hubby on your behalf to my Live Below the Line challenge money.

There's been a surprise development on my Live Below the Line week, find out just what it is here tomorrow. It's a little twist that will make me sit up and think a bit more about what I'm eating !

I need to one of those clear outs in my loft. It is floored and my hubby is always the one that goes up, as it is awkward to get into. Well, he used to go up and walk to place things, now he just opens the hatch and pops things in. I have a feeling it is full. Eek!

Ooh, can't wait to read about 'the development'!

Good luck with the boot sale Sue.....we're off to one this afternoon, not to sell or to buy anything (hopefully!! Am trying to not spend any money!). We just want to check it out with a view to taking all our junky STUFF to sell there soon. It never ceases to amaze me how much STUFF accumulates....it must breed, I reckon.

Regards, Sooze xx

Don't worry about the car boot, I just need to BOOT stuff. I have way too much of it and it's beginning to irritate me on a grand scale. Am full of wonder about the surprise development. xx Susan

I hope your day has been an enjoyable one and the sale went well and you didn't BRING back anything that you didn't take with you--Which is what I do when I go to things like this! :-)

As I've got so little room, I need containers for the stuff I need. Have a lot of photo albums, which I am ploughing through, my holiday photos from various years, backpacking, cycling, etc. Can't get rid of those, but the obscure photos have gone and are still being looked at.

I'm good at Ebay but not good at selling face to face. So, good luck with your stuff!

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
