What type of work do we do?

I am already on a house swap with beachbag from Wales, lol , so yes Hampshire it is .....always ready to expand the swaps ( good business site this is ) !!!!! Lol there was a film where girls swapped homes in different counties ...nice soppy film it was...
Hampshire is a lovely place , Norfolk is just flat and wild rather than quaint...
You live in a very lovely place
Of course I will want the bus trips you take and the good weather
Suffolk is much prettier than Norfolk , that's where minsmere is ...the wild bird trust.....nice there...xxx

You would love the countryside Kat and I pass through Freefolk and Laverstoke which has the longest thatched roof in England, absolutely beautiful ( even though the back of the houses ( Manor Cottages) is tiled, probably to keep the cost down. It has a wishing well on the communal garden at the front and a thatched bus stop which is,one of many on the way should be going on Wednesday I will try and hopefully take a photo.

Library assistant turned into a database programmer then back to a library systems assistant. Finally retired to be a reluctant housewife and now am playing at being a grumpy, lazy, fat old diabetic, when not spending my time having fun with my two dogs, doing a fair bit of crafting, and working on - aka thinking about - creating a database of my BG results (which in no way could evrcompare to Andrew Colvin's brilliant effort!)

Some of our sheep. Once they got loose in the garden and my mum, who was visiting, thought they were all rams. She was terrified but they were just looking for better grazing.

Totto, how could you ? I am shaking with fear now.......We had 10 huge beef cattle invade our garden last year, now they were very easy to remove, I am so grateful they weren't........ sheep.

Very similar to the ones I see on my countryside bus jaunts,. Also, I went for a job ( it's a short bus ride from my home) a few years ago and I walked up to the big house (with a church next door) and in the grounds there is a flock of sheep, always been there.

Boring bookkeeper. I would have loved to work with animals, especially horses but it just didn't work out, and on cold, wet winter days I can be glad it didn't.

I did help out on a farm when I was a lot younger and had a horse on loan, and I can confirm that sheep are evil, evil but dumb, the only thing worse is goats, they are evil and intelligent.

In retrospect I can think of other career paths I might have chosen, but you can't look back too much, that way madness lies.

Yum! Mutton!

Now, Mutton dressed as lamb is a lot worse lol Haven't had a Mutton meal for years and years, that was when my mum was alive.

 

[Totto]

Usually when I order lamb curry I get mutton. I can tell the difference and much prefer mutton in a curry.

Goat is very similar to mutton.

Hi RRB
Yes I would love it, yes please take a photo if you can would love to see it ....
I am yet to find my forever place to live ...maybe I should join you....
Many years ago in the 1980 ,s I started my working life off in Surrey, used to go on the train to Sussex and Hampshire, the three counties that go together for transport links etc, but I was young then , I mainly remember Sussex because I went on the train to get some sea air....it was very nice.
No motor ways out of Norfolk so don't go far now !
Great chatting to you ....Kat x

From school worked at the local council. Posh job that was, we came from working class factory people. Left there to marry, had kids, came to New Zealand with my baker husband. Ran a bakery business, very successfully. Marriage ended...yay!....did various jobs to support the kids and me then got back into baking until I met my now partner who came to NZ from England in 2002. Moved from Christchurch NZ to rural NZ and have been here ever since. I did 2 years in a Recycling Park, great fun. Partner became sick with a serious heart condition so I retired early to be with him. Actually, he's great, doesn't feel ill and works **** hard. I have fun messing about in the house, baking, knitting, looking after the hens and just generally having the bestest time ever! Odd where our lives lead us, who would have thought that a girly growing up on a housing estate near Bristol would end up here?
****, I'm lucky

I have often thought I would love to have been an archaeologist. History has always fascinated me especially Medieval history. I love to read and love books, actually took a bookbinding course once, now THAT would have been wonderful, book restoration. History again
