Caravan Life

Living on the land now.
Still living in a caravan. Not ideal but only financial option at present. We lost our awning due to constant rain and high winds. It was an old one anyway. It lasted a year of being up 24/7. Started to plant some trees and have got a vege garden planted. Neighbour helped put in some fences too.
Killed our first lot of calves turned beef. Got two more half grown and 6 more calves. Have halved our goat population but still have kids to move on. We have lots of fijian indians wanting them!! We have a pond now and our geese are loving it. Unfortunately no goslings have survived as yet. Our chicken numbers are steady at about a dozen although we do have 3 broody hens at the moment. Weare getting our main paddock baled soon.

Whenever I dispair we will ever get anywhere I just take a walk up the hill, breathe in the country air, and watch my very contented animals. Play with my dogs and watch the beautiful sunsets.

Hi from another caravan (well, cabin) dweller

Good on you for not letting the stress get to you...contented animals are a great achievement

Cheers

lea, are you the lea I had coffee with in Invercargill some time back, who was looking at selling her place to get out to the block? If so, congrats, I must have missed the 'we have sold!' thread, isn't it lovely being on your own bit of land

Yes Tigger it is me.
Didn't get to put a sold sign up as it as sold 19th Dec. Oh what a date. We had 2 weeks to buy caravan and move everything. Did not get phone or internet for awhile. Been a stressful year but we are getting there. WISHING FOR MORE SUNSHINE OUR WAY THOUGH.
