Lovely Blogging Friends

I'm so lucky in this lovely Blogging world I inhabit.

I have met, both online and in person, so many lovely people. You all know who you are so I don't have to list names, some of you have Blogs and some of you don't. We've just received a lovely Christmas card and message from Philadelphia because my address was inadvertently left public on someone's Blog for a while, and then this week while we sat down to breakfast before the final push in the decorating there was a knock at the door, it was our friendly postman Geraint, yes his nickname is Geraint the Post, everyone seems to have names that either hold their profession or their house name it is very good as straight away you can place the person being spoken about.

He took a signature and swapped it for a very interesting package.

Inside the package, a beautifully handmade card, which now stands in pride of place on our mantelpiece ...

... a pair of lovely (and perfectly coloured) placemats, our breakfast suddenly got a lot smarter :-)

There were also two drinks coasters and a pot holder.

What can I say ..... I love them, we love them and we love even more that Anne took the time to make them for us, this is so special and we really cannot thank you enough. Hence this blog post to put down in the history of our move that a very special Blogging Buddy made something so special just for us.

Thank you Anne, Sweet Blondie Blue Eyes, who was formerly know to us all as SilverSewer, visit her lovely Blog HERE and see what a lovely lady she really is.

I'll be back tomorrow with more news and updates on the final days of decoration at the new place. It's all systems go ... thank goodness.

Sue xx

Anne is wonderful. When my Dad was ill, she sent me a quilt that she had made to cheer me up. I lent it to him as it was light and warm. Wwhen he passed, it came home to me & now when I cuddle up in it, I think of my Dad and how generous Anne is.

Comments are now turned off for this old blog of mine. Thank you for reading the posts, I hope you enjoyed them. xx

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.
