Since I was around 16 years old it has always been my dream to own some sort of smallholding, nothing too large just a handful of animals and a big space for vegetables.  I would be quite happy with a small area of water for fishing and of course an outbuilding converted into a daytime cafe and evening restaurant which serves food that I’ve grown myself.

I would love to have the space to make my own cheese, beer and wine and a few bee hives would come in handy for honey.  My grandfather used to keep ducks and chickens so I already have an understanding of what is required for the upkeep of these animals.  I have a huge fear of horses but I could be persuaded to have a couple of small ponys.

My favourite bedtime reading has to be books about vegetable growing, I’m just polishing up my knowledge for the day that I see an affordable piece of land!
