I was bought a sub for my birthday by my sis (I think she thought I was going a bit Clarrie Grundy rather than Country Living :-DDD). So I had read and enjoyed the article, it was a bit more factual than the rather light on information articles they often have, also really enjoyed the welsh mill article. One of the better issues I think. :thumbsup:  And very impressed Benkt on your enterprise!

Just remembered to buy a copy when I was in the supermarket yesterday - great issue - Ben, the photos were great and it was a very interesting article - gorgeous children!  It does make you wonder when you're reading it how you manage to carry out the whole concept though - you are definately more laid back than me, not sure I could cope with the organisation of everyone and the different personalities involved.  Like my privacy too much I think.  Will look forward to seeing subsequent articles certainly.
 
Was a good issue for us, the Welsh Mill - we have a mill which was unfortunately converted to a holiday let before we inherited it otherwise we would have loved to have run a mill, we still have the kiln house (oast house) to convert though which we are considering part farm shop part architect's practice (got to keep both going).  We also know the people involved in the Main Street Trading bookshop so that was great to see.  Plus we were discussing picking out trees for blossoms and there was an article on that.  Very interesting magazine for us, may buy another one next month!
 
Good luck Ben, enjoyed that, hope it's drier for you this year.  :sunshine:

As an added bonus for you loyal readers, Country Living have also posted a video of me feeding the animals on a rather windy winter afternoon:

We're just finishing the copy for the June issue so there'll be more where this lot came from!

Blimey Ben, you'll be presenting Countryfile soon  ;) . As long as you don't usurp Adam Henson, my 10 year old daughter loves him and I really wouldn't want to cross her, shes a feisty ginger!
