Winter comes to
The Cottage
Welcome to the Quest for the Good Life web site. Refreshed to reflect the new home in our Lincolnshire cottage, we hope to show how we try to turn a quarter of an acre muddy grass field into a productive food garden.
We are Debi & David Harmston and we started to grow our own at our Norfolk cottage. With more space to develop our knowledge and skills we hope to go further into self reliance than we have ever gone before!
At this time of year with an early wintry snow scene, growing our own seems along way off!
