Remember me?
« on: April 29, 2015, 12:15:00 am »
I was a member here in a previous life, Colliewoman for those that remember :D

How is everyone???
Sorry it's been years since I visited, my life went from pants to catastrophic and now to sheer bliss!

I kicked the husband out, had all my fencing slashed, one of my goats poisoned and a malicious RSPCA report.
Then had Johnes dignosed in all bar one goat, so had to cull them all bar Gill, who then got mastitis so bad I nearly lost her.
Red Dog got hold of some raisins and despite all the vets did passed away. 3 more eviction notices then a mystery virus wiped out the rabbits. Oh and the neighbors dog ate Ichabod the pekin rooster :(
How in the hell I made it I don't know but here I am!!!

Or should I say we...
I stumbled apon a run down 3.5 acre market garden to rent, with permission for a static and a tourer, so me and my best mate moved here to the Westhay levels! I met a wonderful new fella, have started again with the rabbits, got me birds here and my sheep out the back! No more walking/cycling to check them! Woo hoo!
Have my fish and Pilot my Collie. The 2 goats will be moving over soon, If I can persuade my old landlord to part with them lol. Musn't fprget the ferrets either, love them to bits!

I have discovered 3 commercial sized greenhouses under the scrub and 2 poly tunnels. Got an extra 3 acres I can use on the hills, and fishing rights on the Brue!

I appear to have wandered into heaven!
Instead of going to sleep at night fretting about the sheep I just look out of the window, then lie bck and fall asleep listening to the bitterns booming!

But guys..... I MISSED YOU!!!!   :love:

I thought 'bogtrotter? Never heard of them!   Then I saw 'colliewoman'  :thumbsup:  I remember her'  ;D

I'm so glad your misfortunes are behind you now, and welcome back home to TAS  :hug:  Look forward to hearing about your new place.

Hello there. It sounds as though you have lived several lives over the last few years!
I envy you the sound of the bitterns.
