Our New Life in the Country: Happy Birthday Graham

Happy Birthday Graham

I'm off on my travels today to visit Manchester to see Mum, and my lovely little brother Graham. Together we are going for a meal to celebrate his birthday.

Why you might ask is he wearing walking boots and a natty looking camera slung round his neck on this, one of my favourite photos of him.

Well because when he's out and about in the nice days of Summer he goes after shots like this one.

Taken in the Lake District and a really good seller when I used to sell some of them through my little shop in Ulverston, Cumbria a few years back. My brother the talented photographer .... I bet he tears his hair out at some of the pictures I put on here!!

Happy Birthday Graham.

Well, I think Graham needs to continue with his photography, for sure. Some people, like my hubby, just have an edge for photography.

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
