A STORY ABOUT US!
A note from Hannah
There’s something about life in the countryside that has always felt like home to me, and as autumn begins to arrive, I’m reminded just how much I love this time of year. Crisp mornings, muddy boots, golden leaves and evenings spent outside with the animals are some of the simple things I appreciate most.
Life has changed a lot over the past year. Moving away from my family home was a huge step and the beginning of a completely new chapter. I’m now building a little life of my own in the countryside with my partner, Luke, growing our smallholding and, of course, adding to our ever-growing team of animals!
Our days are usually busy and rarely go to plan. There are animals to feed, dogs to walk, fields and paddocks to look after, jobs that always need doing and plenty of muddy footprints through the house. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember, so being able to create my own smallholding and watch it gradually grow is incredibly special. From the ponies and sheep to the dogs and all the other characters who call it home, each one brings something different to our lives and, inevitably, plenty of stories too.
As we head into my favourite season, I’m looking forward to cosy autumn days, adventures in the countryside and continuing to grow this little life Luke and I are creating together.
And with a growing team of animals around us, I have a feeling there are plenty more stories still to come.
