Our New Life in the Country: Sitting Pretty

Sitting Pretty

I took all the recycling out to the boxes we have outside the back door, ....

... and we have our nice new trolley boxes now, so much better for wheeling down the drive to the roadside every week. Then I took the dogs for a wander around the paddock.

While we were gone Ginger made himself very comfortable in the basket we put the recycling in during the day, that I had just plonked on the table ... it's a good job it wasn't any nearer to the edge!!

He just looked too cute not to take a photo of. :-)

Ginger almost took a tumble, but I'll bet she had it figured out before she climbed in. Pretty close!

He looks very settled! One of our cats loves to lie on paper, so the minute you get out any work to do, he comes and lies on it! Silly cat :)

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

Note: only a member of this blog may post a comment.

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
