Title: An 'ex' smallholder
Post by: ouessant on May 13, 2011, 09:03:01 pm

Sadly we have just sold our smallholding in France and returned to England.  Living in a small terraced house with even smaller back yard. Undaunted we now have an allotment and our yard is packed with plants! All that's missing is the animals.  I make felt and have a lot of fleece from my ouessant sheep and Angora goats which I sold before we left. I live in Kent.

Glad to have you on here, you will have loads of experiences to share with us.  :wave: I believe Kent is beautiful - and also expensive! ::)  Never been there, but I'm told it is the Garden of England.  I live in the Garden of Scotland - the Wee County - no animals either, except dogs and my cat, just fruit and veg - Oh, I forgot - I DO have birds - 4 ducks and a drake and 9 rescued hens. :-[ :-[

Kent is cheaper than Sussex that is why we moved here!
