Sally, if its not a sensitive question why have you decided to move back?

Mainly the climate and its effect on my increasingly arthritic joints.

There is much I will miss about Cumbria, but the weather isn't one of them. I know twizzel thinks it's very wet where I'm going - but it will be much warmer, and, though still wet, nothing like as unrelentingly wet as it is here.

I moved up north from Exmoor, and thought therefore that I understood wet, cold places.

I've always said I'm a smallholder at heart - well, now I shall be one!

I'm taking two Jerseys, yes, and the plan is that we'll milk them for milk for the community and to make cheese, yoghurt and so on. Looking forward to that!
