Our New Life in the Country: Unusual Deliveries, Winds and IVF

Unusual Deliveries, Winds and IVF

I got home the other day to find some parcels waiting for me. It took me a minute to realise what they were ..... can you guess?

The winds decided to make Lovely Hubby's sheets of wood attack my car the other night, luckily the bodywork on my little Fiat 500 is pretty pliable and it sprung back to shape after being attacked so mercilessly. Phew ... imagine explaining that one to the insurance company!!

Oh ... and if you're having trouble conceiving nip down to Asda where they have IVF available to buy ..... in the bedding department of course ;-)

I couldn't resist snapping these duvet covers while we were shopping last week, I wonder which bright spark decided to fold them this way.

Sue you were lucky with your car. We had high winds yesterday too. Your parcels look like guns, very strange shapes....The bedding made me laugh.
Have a good day. Rosezeeta.

the bedding made me laugh also. You were very lucky there wasn't damage to your car. No idea what is in your parcels.

The wind did really get up. Our neighbours car was almost written of when a window that had been removed and propped against a fence fell over missing their new car by a fraction. Huge sigh of relief. The parcels are rakes???

Are you going canoeing - they look like paddles! Or perhaps you have got yourself a wind turbine and these are the 4 blades??
Don't keep us in suspense too long.
Love the IVF bedding it might just work to trigger a natural pregnancy - a kind of psychological treatment.
Sorry about the car though but glad it recovered.

Adventure...Live in the Moment? Interesting packaging for sure. I can imagine explaining how a sheet of plywood attacked my car in the middle of the night to an insurance company! Funny, but glad it's okay.

Trees in the parcels? Lucky escape with your car, we've had lots of strong winds, thankfully no damage this time.

The correct sized hoops for your polytunnels in the parcels? I hope so, I know you are itching to get in them and start sowing/planting!
Lucky you with the car too!

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
