Rat Race to The Good Life.

Rat Race to The Good Life. This page is about how our lives changed as we moved from the rat race, to The Good Life, in Scotland. We bought a smallholding and have renovated the property.

Now we have our own menagerie. https://ratrace.etsy.com We are a small holding on the East coast of Scotland. We have chickens, ducks, goats and pigs, as well as our cats and dogs. We are trying to be as self sustaining as we can, growing our own fruit and vegetables, eggs and meat and also selling our arts and crafts.

At SweetieHillock, fresh today,
Hen, duck, and goose eggs on display—
Small and speckled, rich and bright,
Laid with care in morning light.
From hearty bake to golden fry,
Each one’s a little countryside—
Take a dozen, don’t delay,
From SweetieHillock, farm to tray.
