As I have said in the "About Me" section I am Chris, 23 and entering the world of smallholding/foraging etc.
I have just got my first and I hope last house, where I shall be living with 3 mates and a number of animals, including Teal my sheepdog puppy (she is 10 months now).
I hope to use this blog for a number of reasons:
1. To let people see how easy/hard I find life doing this.
2. To help me keep track of where I am going with the project.
3. To have fun.
4. To share ideas/thoughts/recipes and so on with everyone.
5. To show not all us 'youngters' are hoodies.
I intent to keep it updated (daily/weekly, maybe monthly come some busier months) with information both on the smallholding, my own life and that of the animals, recipes and anything that takes my fancy.
I currently have nothing at Hunter's: though I have a few raised beds, a greenhouse, 8 hens, 3 piglets and a duck at my mum's. Some of this will follow me when I move in tomorrow and others will remain with her.
Photos will be put up as I (remember) to take them.
Unfortunately I have been at work today so have not done so much: managed to pick and eat some wild raspberries, and pick and make nettle tea in my lunch break. Raspberries were fantastic, I am still unsure on the tea - need to keep trying it.
One finally thing, a list of some of my loves:
1. Countryside and its pursuits...farming, shooting, walking etc
2. Studying...anything from history and law to youth work
3. My dog
4. Homegrown/made food and produce...from vegetables to meat
5. The occaisional pipe smoke
That's enough now - don't wish to bore you.
Take care
