Our New Life in the Country: Staring Mavis ......

Saturday, 12 March 2016

Staring Mavis ......

I was sat watching television last night and I felt eyes on me, like you do when you feel you are being watched. Looking across I saw Mavis sat looking at me .... staring and staring. I picked up my phone and took these photos, yes these are two different pictures, not one cropped from the other, although I would not be able to tell them apart as she wasn't moving a muscle.

I even checked in the mirror, did I look different was my hair sticking up ....

... no it wasn't but she kept staring.

What was going through her mind I wonder!!

They can read our minds I think!!
(Just wondered if you watched the story on Crufts last night about the microchipped pup which went missing for over 2 years and then was miraculously reunited!). I immediately thought of you.

my cats often do that too,
it does look like love on her face, maybe she is just making sure she etches your face into her mind? she certainly is a little beauty too, adorable.

She says, 'thank you for coming to fetch me when I was lost in an awful place. I want to stay here with you forever'.

Our cats used to do that. It's uncanny and rather disturbing. The reason? Who knows...

When Tess stares at me like that it means that she wants a drink. Water I hasten to add.

Did you have a snack without sharing it with her? She might be giving you a guilt trip with those beautiful eyes.

She is gorgeous, our JRT does that some times and that's when I really wish they could talk and tell us what is on their mind (or not if it's something cheeky)

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.
