Hi all.
Moved here 3 years ago, to a derelict house and some land overlooking the sea, which means some very strong winds!!
Idea was to renovate house in a couple of years, that was before we started to grow our own vegetable, free range eggs, lamb (Ryeland and some Dorset) and pork (Saddleback) not to mention the fencing and gates etc. So the house is still an ongoing project and we’re still learning as we go with the stock.
It is the ‘Good Life’ lots fun, hard work, joy and despair (especially at lambing) but it’s what we wanted to try. Life is fuller and simpler, going back to basics is great, we don’t even miss the television, after all when would we have the time to watch it.
Prior to moving here I’ve never even touch a pig or a sheep so there was (and still is) a lot to learn, so I’ll be happy to learn and share as much as possible.
