We are- a family of four,
Mum- Annie,
Dad-Bruce
Two children Elsie and Betsy
3 dogs - Doug, Pip and Twig
3 Cats - McTat, Ash and Mowgli
2 Pygmy Goats - Treasure and Bell
1 Sheep - Luan
2 Pigs - Copper and Rascal
2 Budgies - Disco and Big Budge
2 Horses - Merlin and Montana
We decided to trade our busy life as home and business owners to chase the dream we’ve harboured for 10years.
How did we get here
After years of saying one day, we finally realised that these opportunities don’t just land in your lap and if we seriously wanted to make a difference to the Earth then we were going to have to stop talking about it and do it!
We sold all our stuff, got rid of the mortgage, sold our camper conversion business and landed in a dream come true. After traveling in our van we settled here in the west of Ireland. A place that has always been special to us. Annie is half Irish and since we met 13 years ago and she took me to meet her family i fell in love with Ireland too.
Now we’ve made this dream a reality there is no stopping us! our plan is to work hard, meet new people and learn new skills that will guide us on our journey of permaculture and creating a way of life that sings to us. One where we aren’t bound to the banks, working every hour and outsourcing all of our needs. A simple way of life, with connection to ourselves, each other, the earth and our community.

A budget-friendly/less hassle option would be to put up one of those signs that say 'smile you are on camera' and maybe one of those dummy CCTV cameras up high in the trees, it would definitely deter them. Welcome to Ireland!

Happy birthday Bruce. Love the Chickshaw, Ive made 2 versions myself. Weight was the issue for me as I used a timber frame, and a solid bottom as I was worried the Irish winter was too miserable and cold for the ladies, but my next version will have the wire mesh floor.... always improving..... oh and ABSOLUTELY bigger wheels, and non-inflate ones too, I cheaped out and paid the price for it. Small flat wheels in mud don't roll very far. (There's a song in that!!) Keep up the great work.

Happy birthday Bruce!🎉🎉🎉 Coop looks amazing, great work! It'll be good to see some birds fill it up soon. Shame about those pesky fly tippers, incredible it still happens in this day and age. Maybe stick up a couple of signs stating CCTV in operation at the end of your road. They often work better if they look like they've come free with a camera by putting their logo on the sign. Good luck with the hens, they're a great addition. My big advice is to get a treadle feeder (step on a hinged piece to reveal feed) I have one for my birds and it has saved me from rodents and wild birds eating feed. My feed bill is a quarter what it was before I got it. Takes a bit to train the birds but well worth it.

Funny I had ordered one at the same time as the hens. Just put it together and it looks great. They currently don’t want to come out of the coop so just giving them time to settle in. Fly tipping is fairly rife round here unfortunately

As requested, here are some comments uttered by this cheeky American. Happy Belated Birthday, Bruce. Perhaps the face paint gave Annie some super human strength. I was wondering if the chickens would get air, but I saw that there was a cage on the bottom. The attic is looking really good. I am a subscriber. I will like. I hope it was a fantastic birthday, and the next time that you are in Cork, have a Beamish for me. ;)

I've been using a pair of cheap secateurs for the past 30 years to cut the goat's hooves. If you do it regularly every 6 weeks, it's quite easy (if you don't have arthritic hands). Then again, I'm kind of curious to see what device you'll come up with. And if my hands get any worse, maybe I can call over and borrow it 😊. Happy Birthday Bruce.

We have hoof shears but my idea is to make a climbing obstacle for them but with skateboard grip tape to file down the hoof. I don’t think it will get rid of the work altogether but I’m going to see if it gets me longer between trims

Happy Birthday🎂. Can't wait to see the chickens. I am on my 3rd set of hens since 2010. They are quite addictive. And such individual characters. Mine adore blueberries so I buy them when on special and use them as bribery or training treats. Even one of the dogs likes to eat some.
