Greetings :o)Hi thereWe are Ant and Jude and we live in Monmouth, South Wales. We bought an old 2 years ago with a view to having less house and more land! We keep chickens and geese and do our very best to grow our own veggies. So far things have been going ok, although this year has been pretty disastrous on both bird and veg fronts due to predators and a distinct lack of water 
We look forward to getting to know you all.

Many thanksGosh! Many thanks for all of your welcome messages!We do a bit of a mixture of killing and making! Ant does most of the killing (he's rabbit stalking as we speak!) and most of the wine/beer making. I do the preparing (of the killed stuff) and the baking, chutneys, jams and mead making. I also have a penchant for knitting socks, although the day job tends to get in the way! All in all it's pretty balanced
