and apologies but...... I'm down south (Essex to be exact)
I live in a small village near London with 4 acres and have become an accidental smallholder, I moved to this cottage 5 years ago when it was INCREDIBLY run down and since then its been non stop. I originally got a pig to deal with the overgrown land at the back..... currently I have
Charlotte - My Essex Pig and her 8 fantastic piglets.... they are massive
Piers and Maffew - Two Tamworths I am raising for someone else
8 Hens
5 Ducks
I Horse
2 Dogs and 3 cats.
I will buy in 6 sheep in the summer
By day I am a solicitor and also volunteer as chairman of a city farm....
My Massive failures so far have been..... failing to successfully get an allotment sorted..... this year though

Welcome to the forum from a wet Wales

I don't know about an allotment but you seem to have your hands full already
