About Me Sorcha

My photo
Elan Valley
Having worked for most of my employed life as a Ranger/Head Ranger here in the beautiful Elan Valley in Mid-Wales, I have found myself entwined in this landscape, in all its wildlife, history, scenery, people and farming. I left my full time post to continue with the things that matter and to farm in the Heart of the Elan Valley and further my creative connection with this wondrous place.The Elan Valley Catchment is 72 square miles of spectacular beauty and abundant wildlife and is known for its series of stunning Victorian built Dams. I support the charity WaterAid who aims to improve Water provision to communities in 27 countries. I was most privileged to be a supporter on a visit to India in 2012. Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is life, fight for it. - Mother Teresa (1910-1997) Freedom is everything.

Half Term busy bees

Half term is busy and everyone gets stuck into life on the farm. Its great to have the children home and everything is so on the go. Lots planned on top of farming to keep us all busy and spend some time together, because soon its all hands to lambing and getting away becomes less likely.

Dens are what keep children outside for hours...... especially with a picnic!

    Another EXCELLENT post, many hands make light work don't they...(Well occasionally anyway)

    Just six weeks now until you get the kids working hard for a couple of weeks.
