[stretch]

I`m Stretch from near Doncaster in South Yorkshire and I`m currently clearing 8 acres of jungle and rubble so as to build some shelters for the goats and Shetland sheep that are awaiting their new home. I shall be photo documenting this and posting at a later date. A bit about myself, I am a single man who is in a relationship with his animals  nothing perverse just no time for anyone at the moment. If things go to plan  then next summer I shall be nearly self sufficient. Hope this finds you all as it leaves me. In health and happiness. Many blessings to you all.

Welcome! My mother-in-law has some Shetland sheep in your neck of the woods - well not so close, she's near Otley but she has friends in Hebdon Bridge with them too (I believe). Good luck with your rubble clearing,

Hello and welcome from a sunny Somerset.   We too have been through the process of clearing brambles and rubble. Actually, I don't think the clearing of brambles ever really stops.    The self sufficiency route is quite a long one, but very satisfying. Good luck with it all and we look forward to the photos.

Hello and welcome from Caithness !
Nothing wrong with being close to your animals, they are my life ! l wake every day and they are the first things l think about    Enjoy! lt just gets better, your learning all the time.
We are very fortunate, some people never get to experience the buzz from growing your own veg and interacting
with animals
