Hello Mandy,
Often in your neck of the woods. OH often working around there so go for a drive and look for property ( not found any yet

he works as high as the Borders to as far down as yorkshire so often take a trip out in case property lurking empty for renovation.

I'll watch out and wave

Hi Sharon from away west of you - north Cumbria, a short drive from the Scottish border.

We're a commercial but traditional low-input beef & sheep farm, with rare breed native ponies, pigs & sheep on the side. I also keep a Jersey house cow in amongst the sucklers.

Ten years ago I was living in a house with some land, wishing I could somehow jump out of the rat race and become a real smallholder...

Hi Sally

That's a lovely area,
Will certainly keep u in mind when we find somewhere.
It's great hearing others have been in same situation regarding dreams, it makes me even more obsessive in finding somewhere tho

Hi Mammyshaz!

I'm not a smallholder either, just doing as much as I can with a domestic garden. I've just taken on some hybrid ex-battery hens, they're lovely. Getting picked on by the older girls but starting to stand up for themselves now.
