About Me: Originaly born in Cardiff, I left the big city at 16 to persue a Game Keeping career in West Wales, I then went to Hartpury College to study Game and Fish Management. I now live in a small town near Gloucester with my family of 6 where I have had the fortune to look after a friends small holding when they go on holiday (which is faitly often), I have looked after their Pigs, and reared my own sheep on the land as well as looking after their Poultry, Ducks and Geese. I also keep my own Poultry and have reared Geese at my own house. I make alot of wine and beer and also enjoy hunting my own food (Rabbits and Pigeons etc).
