Welcome! You have stumbled upon my blog, VintagePretty.org. Enjoy your stay :)My name is Tash (you might already know me from my old Blogger blog) and I live in the wilds of North-East England, about as close as one can be to Scotland and close to sea, countryside and red squirrels. I am married to my gorgeous, witty husband (we were married on midsummer’s day) Mr. VP. We live in a lovely little house on a busy little street in a small-but-perfectly-formed town.I love wildlife, art (mostly photography), music, poetry, knitting, crocheting, talking, listening, blogging, bargain-hunting, Somerset and Dorset. I’m an avid tea-drinker who sees the ritual in making something warming and enjoyable. I am often found outside in the garden, tending to plants and drinking tea. I write haiku about nettles, would like to swim with seals and become completely self-sufficient.

Recently we have added to our number with four gorgeous hens – all of which reside in a beautiful coop in our garden, and lay the most delicious eggs known to man!  This is just one step in many which is taking us to my ultimate dream of self-sufficiency.  I am passionate about eating seasonally, locally and where possible organically.  Ethics in day-to-day life is something I’m trying my hardest to balance, and find a way to live as ethically as possible.

I love sunsets and I love reading poetry on my own at dusk. I grow vegetables and want to run my own smallholding deep in the Somerset/Dorset countryside. Join me on my mission to make a difference, and maybe while I’m at it, find a deeper meaning behind life.

I’m also not afraid to get my hands dirty!
