Introduction to country living.

Hello, I'm a first time blogger!
I'm a single (as in terminally so) 38 year old living in Northumberland working the night shift at a Newcastle Hospital.
I moved out of the city 9years ago to a hamlet outside of Morpeth, where I bred pedigree cats and started composting and growing some herbs in pots. In 2007 I moved to this house with almost half an acre of land and now I've stopped breeding and showing cats I have more time to develop my SMALL HOLDING!

I spent much time growing up at my aunties/uncles small holding well out of Allendale, they kept chickens/sheep/goats and large scale rabbit production. At 13 my parents, brother and I moved out of the towns to a rural area outside of Morpeth and I kept chickens and goats until I left home at 17.

So with an in built facination with self suffciency, a love of keeping/breeding animals and an interest of all things that grow since gardening club at school here I am.
