Hi Rob and Naomi and welcome from Staffordshire. We lived in Derby for 20 years, moved to Ashbourne area and then to Lichfield and we are now alongside the noisy A38 South of Burton. We've got just chickens and a veggy plot -plenty to keep us occupied though. We used to buy lambs in Spring for the freezer in Winter but stopped when we ended up with a Texel ewe by mistake. She's now moved and will be a mummy in Spring. We also have just put up a poly-tunnel.
