Hi everyone
I've posted for a few weeks on the forum, but didn't see the introduce yourself until now. So hello
I'm Tracy from the North East of England, County Durham, specifically near Newton Aycliffe if anyone is local to me? We bought a smallholding in January of this year and LOVE it. I can't get enough of it. There's me, my husband, 2 kids, 3 dogs, 3 lambs, 5 geese, 5 ducks, loads of hens and a few cockerels, 4 horses...I think that's it. We have amazing neighbours who have a few animals too and are lovely. We both have to work full time to pay for the mortgage on the smallholding but that's ok. Life is a balance right, you can't have what you want without putting in the hard work.
We have a veg plot which we did very well on this first year and hope to move towards a self sufficient lifestyle as soon as humanly possible. Well as self sufficient as possible, we won't be off grid. Though I would like to try that for a year in my life before I croak it!
Life doesn't get much better.
Lovely to have found this site. Nice to meet you all
