Joyful Times at Happy Villa Farms

What can you say about a person who has the good fortune to be living at a farm, high up on a hill, with pets and animals for company, and helpful villagers for neighbours. Where you own ample land, green and cultivated, where you take your evening walks within your own boundary and if the mood gets you, you step out of your gate to walk along the narrow winding road which ambles to the top.
