Our New Life in the Country: Happiness.....

Happiness.....

We treated ourselves to a new sign while we were at the Country Living Fair in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago. It was supposed to be for our new house, but we simply couldn't resist putting it up now. It looks so good in the hallway ......

... it's a slightly odd angle .... but it looks good!!

(There was only one screw in the wall and we didn't want to drill another ...lazy oinks that we are!)

There was already a hook on the front door so I had no problem hanging this lovely new Christmas decoration. A wooden heart to celebrate our five years of marriage (the fifth anniversary is the wooden one).

It's beginning to look a lot more like Christmas here ...... more tomorrow.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments on yesterday post.

Definitely no sense in drilling holes which will just have to be re-filled later! Happy 5 years too!

I love the wooden heart - it's not overtly Christmassy so is something that could be enjoyed all year round.Looking forward to seeing more of your Christmas decorating.

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
