Off to Carmarthenshire
« on: April 17, 2014, 11:43:30 am »
Hello!  We are about to fulfil our dream and will be viewing a couple of smallholdings in Carmarthenshire shortly, with a view to having chickens, pigs and sheep, getting back into horse owning and setting up some wildlife hides.

There seem to be lots of you in the area, so I look forward to meeting some of you at some stage, and picking your brains for advice.  ;D

I am in Talley, Carmarthenshire. I have been here a couple of years and love it.
Do let us know how you get on.

We were at Llandeilo looking at a place (not suitable) and helping a friend with lambing last weekend  ;D  Beautiful area!

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

Very many thanks, Backinwellies, hopefully we will be looking at a couple next weekend; I'm just waiting to hear back from the estate agent - one near Llanboidy and one near Cynwyl Elfed.  Up to £330ish, 10+ acres with woods and water of some variety (stream, lake etc) and a private water supply.

Well next Sat morning  is the monthly famous poultry and farm machinery auction in Llandeilo .... you might like to drop in there if it fits round viewings.   For what you are looking for I suspect the NW  Carmarthenshire (or NE) where you are chasing viewings is probably your best bet.   .... you get less for your money in S and E.

Let me know if you want a coffee stop!

Not sure we'll have time for the market, but very good to know, and thanks for the offer of coffee - I am still waiting to hear from the estate agent, so have no idea of timings yet, but will let you know.
