Loving the good life on a smallholding in West Wales

[Dan Allum-Rooney @dallumrooney]

Thanks for all the very kind donations so far. With your help, we've managed to buy some supplies for the barn, including some roofing sheets and featheredge boarding using some good discount codes and Blue Light offers.

Look how much I learned on Duolingo in 2023! How did you do? #Duolingo365

Probably a bit early for clearance and trimming, but with so much to do we have to do the jobs when we get a chance #somuchtodo #cymru

@charliep73 maybe the mulled chpagne market hasn't taken off the way he was hoping?

We've got to make our first big smallholding decision today and need help. We have a flock of 7 chickens with 2 related males, and time is coming to separate them. Do we send one to the dinner table, get him his own flock or is there another option? #smallholding #dinner #poll

@BrimwoodFarm have they asked for meter location, point of connection etc? I'm happy to help or offer advice, my day to day work is in drainage and utilities. If you need to make maps/plans software called QGIS is good and free

[Dan Allum-Rooney @dallumrooney]

@BrimwoodFarm they can charge you for laying the pipes from the mains to your property, then you can lay the pipes yourself on your land, or get them to do it. You can also ask a Self Lay Provider for an alternative quote if there are any in your area

[Dan Allum-Rooney @dallumrooney]

@BrimwoodFarm depending on who your supplier is, there's usually a 'New Connections' application form on their website. You give them the location and what you need water for (domestic or commercial) and they'll assess how much it'll be to connect you.

It's been a busy day on the smallholding today. Cleaned out chickens, which was made so much easier thank to the design of the @NesteraUK coop. Chipped loads of garden waste thanks to the @RyobiToolsUK ready for composting and started on some home improvements.

[James & Dan @thosefarmguys]

The chickens are already getting into the habit of going away of an evening. Had to encourage the leader of the pack into the coop and the rest quickly followed #smallholding

@charliep73 @Amandaforster16 Plus, I'm just catching up on Canada, and it's Irma Gerd for the win!

@charliep73 @Amandaforster16 YAAS! You'll have to get iPlayer on in the back of the van and give Sam an education!

[Dan Allum-Rooney @dallumrooney]

Well done to @MyNottingham on positive action to show their commitment to #lgbtq rights during Pride Month. It's simple actions like this that prove support, not just changing your logo to a rainbow https://t.co/eVevfDnj3g

[Dan Allum-Rooney @dallumrooney]

@charliep73 @Amandaforster16 Yaaas! I have the house to myself too, so no judgey side eye from that there Mr Rooney!
