Building a goathouse and a pig shelter
On Sunday we built a goathouse and a pig shelter on the small holding, all from reused timber and wood panels. We will be able to move them around as they simply stand on the grass. We had planned to build the paddocks as well this week. The stock fencing is ordered and expected to be delivered tomorrow. Unfortunately, our plan to go to the local timber merchant has fallen victim to the pandemic restrictions. They are now closed. So at the moment we are unable to build the paddocks. The plans to buy pigs are likely to be on hold for the time being. As for the goats, we may put the billies onto the small holding anyway, but we need to do a thorough inspection of the external fence before we do so.
Until 2009 I was working in London, UK, but I gave it up to pursue a life of self-sufficiency. My aim is to grow or forage for all my food, produce my own power and live a healthier and greener lifestyle. I left London to return to my home village of Sunniside, near Newcastle, in the North East of England. I have a couple of plots of land there as well as the garden of my house. Our village is a commuter area for Newcastle but we are surrounded by countryside which we use for picking wild foods. My mission in life is to show that it is possible to live well without destroying the planet in the process. I am also keen to ensure knowledge of historic recipes and cooking is kept alive. I regularly try out recipes from old cookbooks using the food we have grown. I make videos about our progress and about how to cook home-grown foods.
