This is Cerys our black sheep, she'll be moving with us to Wales in the near future if everything goes to plan. [our thanks to Reece Ingram http://www.reeceingram.co.uk/].
We have been enjoying the freedom of no work for the past 6 weeks, but now it's full steam ahead as we've found a place to move to and it looks as though we've sold our house - rather important as we need the funds to buy somewhere else!! We hope to be living in Llanwrtyd Wells later this summer and getting to grips with the garden-come-jungle that we plan to make into a vegetable patch, orchard, garden and some camping space. We are looking forward to swapping suburbia for the wonderful hills and valleys of Wales, and of course to trying out the village pubs.
Aww she is lovely!! Hope everthing goes well, keep us informed!

Wahey! Welcome to the other side! Great that you guys have taken the plunge. I'll send you a list of Welsh insults soon though, just in case x
ReplyDeleteWhy does the caption "report abuse" appear above a picture of a sheep? In Wales I thought that would be thought merely romantic.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the move, a lovely part of the country. I did the "Man vs Horse" MTB ride round that way ages ago.
It looks marvelous there and we're looking forward to visiting you there - Jan can help in the garden and I will bake you some scones!
ReplyDeleteThanks for lunch today - it was really great to chill with you and Paul, and the soup was lovely.
Here is the promised poem! enjoy :)
Taffy was a Welshman,
Taffy was a thief.
Taffy came to my house
And stole a piece of beef.
I went to Taffy's house,
Taffy wasn't in;
I jumped upon his Sunday hat,
And poked it with a pin.
Taffy was a Welshman,
Taffy was a sham.
Taffy came to my house
And stole a leg of lamb.
I went to Taffy's house,
Taffy was away,
I stuffed his socks with sawdust
And filled his shoes with clay.
Taffy was a Welshman,
Taffy was a cheat,
Taffy came to my house
And stole a piece of meat;
I went to Taffy's house,
Taffy was in bed;
I took up marrow bone
And beat him on the head.
Love the sheep, can't wait to come and see you all in your new home xx
