Hello there, I live in Devon with my husband, young daughter, two cats, one dog and 8 chickens. This should be the year we get the bees in, we have the hive ready! We bought our 3 acre smallholding about 18 months ago after I got made redundant from my job of 25 years.

We are developing the land from just pasture, to a mixture of fruit, vegetables and grains, plus expanding and renovating the orchard area.

We hope to be as fully self-sufficient as possible over the next few years as well as trying to get some income from what we produce.

I look forward to getting to know you all and picking your brains when I get stuck!

When we lost all our kale during the snows I could have cheerfully throttled every pigeon myself with my bare hands. But thanks for the offer!

I'm near Axminster, so I've only just squeezed in past the county border.

I was busy round Exeter on the same errand. Those bangers are OK, but only after a few of the little buggers have been shot. If they start hearing bangs and Fred disappears, then they start to avoid bangs.
