Life in the Rural Lane

I'm Lois, the writer. I started this blog just after I moved here to the boonies of Grey County from the city of Guelph. 

​

I grew up in rural Ontario - Frome to be exact. A 'blink and you miss it' kind of place in the southwest. Went to the University of Waterloo. Moved to the Big Smoke (Toronto), where I worked in the public service as a communications adviser.  Gradually made my way back to country living and set up my own business called Wordswork Communications. 

​

Now, I live in an old (150+ years) house on three and a half acres - lovingly called the farmette. I have a supportive partner who not only feeds me but indulges my love of gardening, cats (we have five) and the occasional toodle in our classic Miata sports car.

​

We've had many, many adventures and I keep pinching myself because we're so fortunate. 

​

This is for my friends and family - to keep in touch and hopefully be touched by the fun stories that come out of the farmette.
