An 'ex' smallholder
« 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. :-[ :-[
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Hi and welcome from Kent  :wave:

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

Hello from just about as far away (in England) as it is possible to get!  Back to winter today, here... Brrrr!
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
