Our New Life in the Country: Just because .....

Just because .....

Just a photo I took with my phone while drinking coffee in Tebay services a couple of weeks ago. Just because I wanted to see the photo somewhere other than on my phone ... and just because I don't need to put on my reading glasses to see it on here.

Age huh!! Bits stop working properly, bits fall off and sometimes bits fall out. Can't wait to see what stops working properly next ;-)

One bit stops working efficiently - then stops altogether . . . .

Beautiful. I think one of the reasons I like Instagram is seeing stunning photos like this, of landscapes and nature. It's uplifting and reminds me that truly wonderful things in life cost absolutely nothing at all.

Lovely photograph Sue but then every thing looks lovely from Tebay services which have got to be the best in the country wouldn't you agree?

Beautiful photo, Sue, the clouds building up remind me of here sometimes. When my sister turned 50 she said she was admitting to middle age as she'd had to get reading glasses. A couple of months ago, at age 51, I had to get bi-focals as my arms aren't long enough anymore, but I'm still short sighted for distance stuff!
Sending care, Michelle in Wellington, NZ

We often have a few days away in Ravenstonedale, so this is a very familiar view.
If only all M'way services were this good, instead of little concrete boxes surrounded by nothing but tarmac!

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
