Hi All!
Just registered here and thought I would introduce myself. I am Ponyntrap, I live in Aberdeenshire, have lived her for just over 12 months now after moving from Cheshire, Lock Stock, 3 horses(1 driving horse and 1 in waiting,hence the user name!), 3 dogs and all my worldly goods to live with my partner.
He was living in Aberdeen City at the time but his parents live in a forest cottage near Stonehaven, we discovered early on in our relationship that we both 'had a dream'. This dream now seems to be coming true!!
In December last year we moved to a converted rented steading, part of a country estate, we aquired 12 acres of grazing for our horses, now expanded to 4 as one is on 'Maternity Leave' whilst his mum has a baby. We now have 33 sheep, 6 of which are orphans now weaned and in the field, 9 ewes and 18 lambs at foot. 14 bantams hatched from incubater, the cockerel count currently stand at 6, 4 of the chicks are only 2 weeks old so am waiting to see what we have there and finally 6 Ducklings, again hatched in the incubater, they are only about 9 weeks and so far are huge!
Polytunnel is up and housing toms, cucumbers, chillis, peppers, sweetcorn, lettuce and herbs. And the veg garden, considering we had to build raised beds and following on from the horrendous winter we had up here so were late getting them built, it is doing just fine.
Hope to share ideas and experience and gain knowledge on here, look forward to meeting you all!
