Our New Life in the Country

Saturday, 9 June 2012

A while ago I entered a Giveaway over at Sarah's Blog ........and I was lucky enough to win it.

So look what turned up in my mailbox this week, all the way from Australia, I'm so lucky. It's a lovely book and when I get back from taking my Mum home this weekend, I'll sit down with a big mug of coffee and look for inspiration to make Lovely Hubby a special vegetarian meal to celebrate us being back together.

We don't like to be apart, but it's worth being apart sometimes so we can enjoy being back together all the more!!

Simple pleasures.

Thank you Sarah for my book and for paying to send it all the way to England, I'll think of you and raise a glass to you as we tuck into meals made from it.

What a lovely giveaway. Many years ago, when a German pen pal of mine moved to Australia, she sent me a couple of vegetarian recipe books, one of which was quite unusual and had things in I'd never be able to get hold of but I still have it.

These alternative recipes give you ideas you might not otherwise come across.

Oh! How perfectly wonderful! I was just thinking over the weekend that assuming the post has not lost it, you should be receiving the recipe book soon. I'm so glad to know that it arrived to you safe & I cannot wait to see how it inspires you in the kitchen. ;) Enjoy!

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.

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.
