The usual, a free hand out of all shooting, hunting, fishing rights and to sleep with all your wives!!!!!

Not really, as I said, I have an interest in farming/countryside, I am 35 and live in the city, we want to get out and have no experience of any kind. I am a fabricator/welder working in sheet steel up to heavy gauge structural steel, maybe handy for some people.

Not sure you'd want to sleep with my OH :eek::facepalm::stop:

Morning all. I'm Tim, have a small farm in South Wales. Currently trying to see if I can get a commercial success out of 25,000 Xmas trees. It's a bit of a gamble but it can't pay worse than sheep, and at least you don't find Xmas trees dying in the most public/inconvenient place possible!
Another sense of humour has arrived - Things are looking up lads ;):D

Welcome aboard Tim.

The gang will be along to encourage / abuse you pretty soon. :D
