I was a contracts and operational specialist at Microsoft but I was made redundant, I am currently temping to keep money coming in.
I run the smallholding in between, my dream is to stock and sell equestrian stuff that is affordable from the smallholding and online. I am still researching this.
When I do get the time and inspiration I design, make and sell jewellery online.

Hubby still works in homeless!!!!!(for now)
