Hello again chaps! It's been ages.
We have now moved down to Essex, where we have 8.5 acres. We are mostly going for gold in the organic veg department, but I am moving my ladies (chickens) onto the land. Dorrit my S.Favorelle is getting a bit bullied so I am going to set her up with her own coop and with a few S.F to keep her company as she is so lovely.
Does anyone know of any one in Essex or Suffolk with and S.Fav's???
Thanks xxxx |

We moved from Devon with no land to essex where we now have land
We are based in Great Bentley CO7 , and it all seems pretty good thus far, could do with some rain  though.
Nicki, yes we made it! If you ever could near Essex get in touch, until then ( or until we come back and visit that fair county) give Devon my love and stay in touch xxx |

I figured it was for the land, that's what I want too.

Yes, that's one of the reasons I'd like to move to Devon!
I'll probably be in Colchester some time next week, any chance I could drop in and be very nosey? We could have an awesome rant about our respective complaining neighbours! Or just babble about chooks, I have silkies and Sussexes.  |

You would be more than welcome!
There isn't much to see as yet expect some very new rabbit fencing and a shiny new gate (and a lot of space!)
My chooks are at my at the mother in law hotel just now, but they will be back very soon and I am so looking forward to it.
Our telephone number is 01206 252147, and you are welcome any time.
The best bit is we left the neighbours from hell in Devon
There is a map of where the land is is on our website

Gosh what a lot of market gardening in the area. Must be a good location for it.  Round here it's either arable or neglected. Just one 'market gardener' and a very few shaggy cattle to add anything interesting. (I have to admit the shaggy cattle are very interesting!)
I have noted your phone number and will give you a call when I am more certain when I will be up that way, thanks. |
