Hi James, welcome to TAS from Worcestershire

Loving the fact that your son is so keen!  I have an 11 year old who lives and breathes smallholding (injected her first sheep this weekend and is so pleased with herself!)   looking forward to hearing about your quail and veggie growing

Welcome to the site. I used to work at Knowsley Safari park (very close to Prescot) in another life.

That's the way to start. It's surprising how things can move on once you take that first step. Great folk here to help and encourage.
