From field to garden by happypat

From field to garden

When I was being shown round our old house I looked through one of the bedroom windows & saw this former field turned into garden & self sufficient small holding that it has become.
A doctor with a farming heart he has so much going on here. Chickens, a beef bull, vegetables & this week they were getting two pigs. They also built the small stone barn you can see in the field.

Three good things:
1. Winter warming meals...mince & mashed potato for evening meal, it's a while since we had that!
2. Gorgeous bouquet of pink lilies in Aldi for £2.99!
3. So glad we are not allowed guns in the UK only for sport & then only with a licence & an inspection of gun cabinets.
Looks like he is making use of every corner of his plot.. good to see it's being well loved... can be upsetting when you go back to an old home and it's a big mess...
Pleased we have strict gun laws as well.. something has to change in the US.. ☹

@julzmaioro Definitely Julz but the gun lobby is very powerful, can't see it happening in my lifetime! Must be scary knowing there are so many guns about. Our police aren't even armed on a regular basis although I do think that might change soon with all the terrorist stuff going on.

A lovely rural view with a garden and a stone barn -- it looks so homely Pat and a lovely scene from the bedroom window !

This reminds me a lot of that series, "The Good Life' which I loved. Wouldn't have wanted to do this though we did have a lifestyle property which was a lot bigger but far too much work!

A lovely piece of green England!

Oh this is marvelous! I would have such a wonderful time with a little farm that size.
So true about your GT #3. Something has to change over here regarding gun laws. The gun violence is out of control.

@peggysirk I do hope people realise that guns breed violence but I suppose if they are used to having that protection they wil feel very vulnerable without.

A lovely garden. They seem to have done a lot of work.

A lovely garden and rural scene. I agree with you re gun laws, but I don't think America will ever change and these terrible events will continue.

So good that you got to see that the farm is being utilised so well.
