  • My Dream Smallholding: The first mishmash of cold graft.
    Welcome back everyone! In this episode I slowly start to cut back the collapsed and wrecked trees, to gain vehicular access. Buy in my first lot of fence posts and get to whacking them in. Did I mention it was cold..?
    A pre shout out of thanks for watching this, the videos and their quality do improve. So please bear with me. Many Thanks, I appreciate you.

    Looks like a great spot! As someone currently selling their house to fund a similar idea in Wales..would love to know whereabouts you are and how you found the land? All hints and tips gratefully received! Keep up the good work man 💪

      Hey Seb, I'm North East Wales. Good luck with your house sale and don't give up. I will put put a video on this at a later stage. Tips for now, search the areas you're interested in go walking there etc. Maybe you'll see a derelict plot/wreck. Get back and used the land registry. £3 per search. If serious, write the owners a letter 👌. Try different FB groups but don't flat out explain what you're trying to do. Keep it private.

    Hi! Found ur channel after searching moving to wales! My parents bought a small holding years ago, I grew up wales but moved back to London in my teens. I had the most amazing upbringing, so many wonderful memories, a different life to what my friends had, I do really miss it. Would love to move back, give my young daughter those experiences. I will be following ur journey, excited for you😊 x

      Hey Millie! Thank you very much for your comment. Much appreciated 🙏 . They sound like wonderful happy memories and no wonder you want to move back. I have nothing but fond memories growing up here too. More videos will be uploaded shortly, just having a chill for the Xmas break 😊. All the best 👍

    Top job Callum👏👏 Thank you. That’s some work doing those fence posts by hand with a knocker and the solid ground. Least it kept you warm 👌 Keep up the great work, even though it’s painstakingly slow editing vids, it’d be great to see your journey and share your experiences for those of us that will one day join you off grid 👍

      Hey! Wow, thank you so mich for commenting. I really appreciate it 🙏☺️. The post work during the winter and doing everything by hand, has been brutal but extremely rewarding and worth it. Lots more to come video wise. Look after yourselves and have a wonderful Christmas 🎄

      Hey Andy 👋. Thank you very much! I appreciate that a lot. I may do a more in depth video as suggested in the future. It's always best to keep some privacy I find in this crazy world. But I'm an photographer (mainly landscapes and outdoor brands) and I also run a tiny business called www.sheepfloof.com where I use my girls wool. Many thanks Andy! Hope you stay with my poorly edited videos 😂👌.

    I would be very interested to know how much this smallholding cost. It is something I always wanted but now at aged 65 its passed me by. Hence why I am interested in your videos

      Hey Tony. Thanks for watching and commenting. Someone else has asked to go into that side of things. So, I will do a mini video (in the future) on this. Cheers 🍻 👏
