Gorgeous Pugs and Food for Thought

I got this gorgeous card from Mum the other day.

This lovely Pug is so like Suky it's unbelievable. I wonder if Mum could rustle up a hat for Suky just like this one :-)

It's got pride of place on the kitchen shelves at the moment, I do like having things that make me smile on my shelves, so much better than having to look at a boiling kettle.

I must start properly eating our way through these stores too. I don't think I've used much out of any of these jars for the last couple of weeks, it's been all veggies and salads. Maybe a few pasta salads should be included in our Summer repotoire, or a light Summer Soup using some of the lentils.

Lots of food for thought.

That is the cutest card. Suky would look way too cute in a little hat like that.

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
