Hi from us here in Wales. We (Ian, Linda and Jovi) moved into
Nantygroes through the snow on January 23rd. What a lovely picture, the welsh cottage and
surrounding area all snowy white. Having nothing to move in, except ourselves
and a few essentials, left lots of time
for a fun exploration of fields and woodland with snow drifts reaching almost
to the knees and a snowball fight.
Over the weekend, with the help
of Aaron, Keiron, Chris and Laura, we moved all Linda’s stuff from the storage
in Bristol. The youngsters were a
fabulous help (some of my oak furniture is VERY heavy) and fun to be with. I enjoyed testing out the rangemaster cooker
the previous owners left us!
The views here are amazing, and
so is the weather! In a week we have
seen snow, hail, gales, rain (so heavy even hardened locals commented) and yes
even some sun!
We inherited some local wildlife
to care for. The previous owners left us lots of wild bird food to continue
feeding the wild birds. I’ve seen many
species enjoying the feast including a beautiful Nuthatch and a pair of Great
Spotted woodpeckers… oh and a couple of squirrels! Bertie, the local Buzzard, visits daily for
some leftovers and the feral tortoise shell cat appears to be fed too.
We also inherited 2 very fat and
not very friendly sheep called Gladys and Lucky. Ian had his first taste of
catching, turning and foot trimming… he learned sheep run very fast as lucky
legged it to the far corner of the farm not to be seen for 24hrs! (I have caught her since, and her feet are
now trimmed too!)
