You may have noticed a distinct lack of posts lately…or maybe not. You’ve probably given up reading by now. Sigh.

It was my intention to carry on with tales of the countryside as I played at being a farmer’s wife. But, we had to sell the farm and have moved into the middle of a town. Horrors!

But, as I’m still a country lass at heart, I’m going to carry on as best I can.

My Beloved is working hard to put shelves on every available space. The new house is a quarter of the size of the farm. And the farm had stables (lots of nice storage space). Car boot sales here we come. . . .

We have had to console ourselves by watching DVDs of “Tales from the Green Valley” and “Victorian Farm”.

Sadly, our ‘garden’ is about the size of a Victorian pig-sty. Oh well.

Something (or someone!!) ate all our strawberries. So all I have salvaged from the farm is a quince tree (doing very well in a dustbin until we have the garden sorted), a bay tree, and a pot of oregano and thyme.

Nearby, in the parking area, is a huge rosemary bush so I slip out and snip bits off it as I need it. One day I shall take cuttings.

Well, that’s my quick update. Hopefully more interesting stuff coming up later.
