My name is Tonya, and I grew up on a 300-acre farm in rural Virginia that has been in my family for over 100 years. After graduating from college, receiving my master’s degree in speech and language pathology, and living and working in a small city for six years, I decided to return to the place of my childhood. Here, in this rural area, on this patch of green, where for four generations my family has farmed, gardened, and lived, I, too wanted to be a part of this continuity. As a fourth generation farmgirl, I have many interests that not only include, but also go beyond the basics of farming, gardening, sheep and chicken-keeping. It is all of this and more that I plan on sharing in this blog.

Thank you. It really is one of the loveliest views in the Cotswolds. I think I remember reading that one can see five counties from the top of Broadway Tower. 😊

I’m glad you liked the song! Van Zant’s guitar solo is pretty fantastic. 😊

I love that particular view in the Cotswolds. There’s also an underground bunker there that was installed after WWII–1950s. This was due to worries about nuclear war. It’s one of 1600 reporting stations in England for reporting information regarding detonation of a bomb, predicting movement of radiation clouds, etc. to help with evacuation efforts. There’s also a cafe at the visitors’ center that has the most wonderful homemade cakes. 😉
