My husband and I are both retired and live at Ty'r Felin in North Wales with our dog - a beagle. We've lived here over 30 years and, after keeping horses and sheep on the land, we decided to grow trees and plants.
We have a range of activities each season that include weeding and growing plants in spring, grass cutting and raking in the summer months and fruit harvesting in autumn. We grow perennial fruit and vegetables in the forest garden but also have vegetable and flower beds that need maintenance in the spring and summer. You could also be riding the quad to cut the grass on the field or chipping wood for paths.
There is an annexe which can accommodate at least two and give you privacy when we're not working, relaxing or sharing meals. Breakfast can be taken in the annexe when you get up. Lunch is usually a light meal (hopefully eaten outside) with our evening meal taken in the main house.
My husband and I like walking (and having a beagle means daily walks). We also both share an interest in green issues, whether it's building and maintaining eco friendly structures such as a composting toilet or working on permaculture projects within our community. We both like cooking.
