There is a story about our visit to Halen Mon on their website.
Welsh Farm Organics
Looking into rural businesses on this trip, one thing that has really stood out is the lengths to which some people go in order to create employment for themselves in a part of the world they love; be that the countryside in general, a particular region, or the very farm they grew up on. As… Continue reading Welsh Farm Organics
A Country Cottage on Wheels?
Not exactly a blog entry, but we did laugh when we found out our van was being discussed on the forum of a “global online motorhoming community”, Motorhome Facts. CC stands for Caravan Club, we discovered. Click here to see it.

The pub has just been awarded 2008 GOOD PUB GUIDE Gloucestershire Dining Pub of the Year and whilst we were there all the regulars were congratulating James, the landlord. It… Continue reading The Bathurst Arms
Muddy Wellies Ale at the RAC
When we were invited by Simon Corpe, the Chairman of Royal Agricultural College Entrepreneurs (RACE), to come to the college and have a taste of their new student-branded beer we couldn’t refuse…one, because we were intrigued to know what it would taste like, two, because much of this trip has been focussed on rural entrepreneurs… Continue reading Muddy Wellies Ale at the RAC
