Hi again Keith
Just out of interest, does your TAS name "Tirdu" mean anything in welsh?  It is similar to the gaelic for "Black earth" or "Black Land".

hello, I've just joined and am looking for a contact to help with sheep advice/obtaining a couple of lambs for meat as I would like a couple of lams for my orchard this year but have no prior experience of sheep rearing whatsoever.  Aberystwyth isn't far from me I think. Would u be able to help? thanks
