My wife Sarah works in Manchester, while I work from home.
I run our smallholding which we are busily developing. We have a large veg garden, a young orchard, a fruit tree nursery, over 250 trees (lots of bird boxes), bees, chickens and turkeys.
We are keen on a more sustainable way of life; we have installed PV (solar panels), and have changed our oil heating system to wood pellet (biomass).
I am an independent writer and have written for Living Woods, Smallholder, Climber and Summit magazines. I have written a memoir, Cop Down, and a trilogy of novels about a fictional DCI. Looking for a publisher!
We love the walking from the door. We are keen mountaineers and backpackers.
We often chat with our guests, and we welcome new ideas, and look forward to discussing both our and your plans and aspirations.
