Our New Life in the Country: Blogland ..... a wonderful place.

Blogland ..... a wonderful place.

Blogland a wonderful place full of wonderful people, and sometimes some of them get together and do something truly lovely, something truly remarkable.

This morning I clicked onto Elaine's blog Ted and Bunny, drawn over by the picture of 'Love Me Ted', and was drawn into the saddest of moments, but the saddest of moments that were made that little bit better by peoples reactions to them and the love that is found in Blogland and the artistic community that dwells here. Go to Elaine's now and read for yourself.

I won't tell the tale, I don't know the lovely lady it's about so I don't feel I have the right to, but knowing I have my soul mate safe and sound and that she has lost hers I can feel her pain, I can imagine the devastation in her life at the moment, and I can put myself in her shoes. Far better for you to visit her post at The Middle of Nowhere and read it for yourself.

Together in Blogland we can sometimes

and when we pull together it's truly magical.

The Blog post I was going to do today will be done tomorrow instead, this is so much more important.

Thank you for reading.

I have been online friends with Gretel for some years - she is the kindest, warmest, most generous of people. It has been wonderful to see the response to the appeal for help for her.

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.
