Alone.

 I can't promise to become a good blogger again as everytime I announce 'I'm back' than another spanner gets thrown into the works!

I'm living the farm life and that means early-ish starts and exhausted finishes! Yesterday, I cleared away the old hay and stacked and covered 60 bales of fresh hay for the horses, alone.

                                                    This picture is so bitter sweet for me.

It would seem that when my dear man and I made our plans to live on a farm, he kind of expected it to be all Darling Buds of May instead of mud, muck and back breaking work. 

Now, don't think he didn't know what caring for animals is like, after all, four of the seven horses are his!

Sadly, I had to sell the goats before Christmas as they were getting out of control and I didn't have the strength to be constantly catching them and repairing fences. It seems that they've gone to a good home but I really do miss Roxy, the mama goat.

I made a video of the kids arriving in the world on my youtube channel, Wildewood Farm. I can't watch it now, it's just too sad.

So what does the future hold for me now? Well, no more surprises I hope for a long time! I've sorted my finances so that my outgoings are minimal as I always wanted to move towards a self-sufficient lifestyle and now I can put it into practice. I'm working hard at my art and have started making jewellery and recently fell in love with book binding. I have plenty to occupy my time and my many animals keep me very amused, so I have plenty to blog about, if I can find the time to write it.

Hugs to all my blogging friends and hopefully, I'll be back with another post soon.
