At 54 years old, it’s not often I get referred to as a newbie, but as a TAS virgin, I thought I would, in the words of the late, great Ian Dury, “bruise my pomegranate” and indulge in my first post.
Over the next two years I hope that my money tree in the back garden will provide enough resources to buy a smallholding, something I have been dreaming of for a while now.
I would like to spend the next couple of years developing my smallholding skills, knowledge and experience.
If there are any kind souls who could offer me hands on experience such as handling livestock, beekeeping, willow weaving, brewing or dairy skills (Cheesemaking) etc., it would be much appreciated.
I currently live in North Nottinghamshire. If local, I would be more than happy to give a day or two a week, or if further away, then I would be very happy to travel and spend a week or two away from home, obviously, all working on a voluntary basis.
A pleasure to meet you all. Looking forward to any support you can give.
