Other Information

My main interests involve the countryside! I have 300 sheep under my care which take up some time! I also have two dogs, one of which is a working Labrador. I also bake a pretty good lemon drizzle cake! Contract shepherding doesn’t leave much time for hobbys but I love working with sheep and couldn’t do anything else!
