Title: New Smallholding in Ceredigion
Post by: JackandJill on June 06, 2015, 11:08:54 pm

Hi there,

we picked up our keys to our new smallholding today in Ceredigion, a lot of work to do on the house before we can look at the land (which seems not to have been managed for a while) excited and apprehensive at the same time,

hoping some fellow smallholders are nearby for morale support!

Jack & Jill

Hello from far, far away  :wave: Good luck with the new smallholding. We've been here five years last month and it feels like the end of the beginning :)

Good luck from Northamptonshire but soon to be Wales. The excitement and apprehension is exactly what we feel. Look forward to hearing how it all goes.

We do occasionally have a meet for the South West people. Often its at someone's smallholding. Now that lambing is mostly over its probably time for another one soon.

Hello JackandJill!!

We've also just bought a smallholding in Ceredigion and I started my own "Hello" thread the other day  :excited:

Very exciting isn't it? And quite scary how much needs to be done, eh?

Good Luck on your adventure neighbour.... :thumbsup:

Hi there Mrs Pea,

Hello nonnatus,

Long list of jobs but very exciting, hope your plans are going well too.

Juggling a "normal" job with the building and land, so a list that gets longer each day, including the dreaded knotweed, but we'll get there!
