We live in a small hamlet within 20 minutes of normal amenities ie supermarkets pharmacy etc We live in a traditional farm house with exposed beams, but with the benefit of central heating, wood burning stove and en suite bathrooms. Our two dogs are well behaved, although manipulative. They like a walk twice a day but not too long as they are now 11&8 The cat Poppy comes and goes as she pleases. The chickens need little attention but need closing up at night, and opening and feeding in the morning.
