Clippings and cloppings!
We’d love to have one of those swanky news pages with lovely PDF versions of the articles we’ve been featured in for you to read right here and now (perhaps even with turning pages)… sounds so easy… but sadly it’s not.
So – liking the simple things in life – I’m afraid for the time being all we can put here are links to some of the features and articles we’ve appeared in… if you’d like to read them in the flesh, why not pop along to a course? I’ll happily show you my clippings!
South Wales Argus, August 1st 2012
The lovely Kath Skellon produced this very informative article after a chat (which went on a long time). Thank you Kath.

Blackpool Gazette, July 9th 2012
Wonderful article by Jacqui Morley taking Kate back to her roots (Her home county of Lancashire, not hair dye!)

NFU Countryside magazine, June 2012
Kate's first (and probably only) shot at being a coverstar! Thank you Martin and Laura for a great write up and thanks to Adam for the lovely pictures. More of which can be found here.

The Guardian, April 7th 2012
Guardian reporter Lizzy Davis and photographer Gareth Phillips spent a day with us on one of our first ever lambing courses; see what they thought here…
Western Mail, Country & Farming supplement, March 6th 2012
The Western Mail’s Sally Williams included this article in Country and Farming; it’s a great intro to what we do (shame they’ve left the photos off the online version, but there’s plenty for you to see in our gallery).
South Wales Argus, March 6th 2012
Our first centre spread! All about new life on Welsh farms and the “unusual” ways farmers in Monmouthshire are finding to make an income. “Unusual”? Us? Never!BBC Radio Wales, Country Focus, March 2012
The lovely Emma Thomas came all the way out to see us on a Sunday morning, just to record our ramblings; she edited us well!
BBC Radio Wales, Jamie Owen and Louise Elliott (9am weekdays), February 3rd 2012
Our first time on live radio – we’d never even been near a radio studio before – so it went OK, though we say it ourselves.
Abergavenny Chronicle, February 24th 2012
It’s the photo which makes this one – Lass doesn’t stay still for long!
Western Mail, February 22nd 2012
The Western Mail paid us a visit literally days before we opened Kate’s Country School – it was a little hectic at the time but we hope the photographer’s shoes recovered!
Country Life, February 29th 2012
We’ve even had a brief mention in Country Life; amazing, but sadly too small to be on their website… maybe next time?
Smallholder Directory, February 26th 2012
It’s great to be included on the Smallholder Directory website – thank you!
Wye Valley & Vale of Usk, Visitor Guide 2012
You’ll find Kate and her pitchfork on page 22, but why not flick through the other pages too? There’s so much to see and do in our lovely corner of the country.
Garstang Courier, December 7th 2010
Kate’s parents’ local paper, proud of their local lass, but the best bit… you MUST check out the photo caption… we couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
Farmer’s Guardian, July 23rd 2010
Written just after Lambing Live, this puts what we do into a proper farming perspective; after all, farming is our family’s life and livelihood, not TV appearances (though we love the mix!)
