More DescriptionOStop the World I want to get offO was a catch phrase in the sixties. We managed to get off and this is the story of how we did it. Our marriage was the occasion of moving from being OtowniesO to learning a limited OSelf SufficiencyO lifestyle in the heart of rural Worcestershire; while melding a bachelor and a widow with two sons into a family unit, at the same time as integrating 147A and 156 into one house. Bash through walls and swap windows for doors with us as we turn our dream into a reality.
Read about CharlieOs chickens and the fate of Isobel the isolate. Of our cantankerous donkey O BuffersO and Dinah the Dexter heifer who was in a class of her own as a OshowO jumper. Of sheep and lambing and a gun-shy spaniel who became Oone of the familyO
Come into the kitchen while we make jam and preserves, bottle fruit and bake bread. Brew beer and make wine and many other delectable items.
Experience the different tempo of the seasons as we look at a typical year of country and village life.
Follow us as we go seeking that OsomethingO more that we felt sure existed. How we found it and the way it changed our lives.
All this and so much more awaits you in Abberley: a Recollection
