Title: Evening From Shropshire
Post by: kenleyshrop on April 27, 2022, 08:06:50 pm

Hi, Andy from Shropshire here. I live between Much Wenlock and Church Stretton with my wife and two children. We have 10 acres of rough grazing that our Hebridean sheep keep under control for us. We make some hay for the winter months and have a few chickens.  The pla e had been negle ted for 25 years before we built here so I spend my spare time fencing,  hedging, chopping and strimming.

Hi from someone else who spends all their spare time making up for previous owner neglect!

Welcome Kenleyshrop, apologies for late welcome, dont know where your post was hiding, but only just shown up for me.
You sound in similar situation to us with land, we managed to buy adjoining fields (mainly to have some control in front of the house, and stop a possible housing development ), but neglected for many years, field drains constant problems, more fencing to divide fields as dry stone walls are flattened.  Better than being bored  ;D .

Hello and welcome from someone who loves Much Wenlock. Must be one of the prettiest places in Britain.
