Our New Life in the Country: A Little Visitor

A Little Visitor

We had a little visitor over the weekend, the smallest one for quite a while.

He came in the window to say hello and just sat there for a minute before the dogs interest and barking set him off fluttering around a bit.

You can see how little the window was open so he was obviously determined to come in and visit us. After snapping this photo I slowly walked over and pushed the window open a bit further, and with a flap and a flutter he went on his way.

No drama, no fuss, just a short visit from a little feathered friend.

Lucky you were calm and he flew out the window when you opened it wider. Could have been a chase through the house!

Aw, how adorable, it's good the little guy didn't get hurt in the process! Just one of the many perks of living or vacationing in the countryside, you never know what encounters or adventures you might have!

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
