There's a really lovely, thriving and supportive network of folks who are smallholders and homesteaders (the American name for smallholding) that I've bumped into via social media. While I've known this about Twitter and Facebook for a while, I didn't know until recently that a similar network existed via YouTube. Anyway, one of this network had a fabulous idea for a collaborative challenge whereby vloggers are invited to make a video about a particular subject. This one is about our reasons for choosing to be smallholders. As usual, if you can't play the video on screen, you can watch it on YouTube here.
If you can't see the video (which happens sometimes on a mobile phone) you can watch it on YouTube here.
Please share this vlog far and wide to help raise awareness of some of these issues and to give a small voice to those unable to speak up for themselves at the moment.
We had a fabulous day at the Royal Welsh Show Spring Festival. If you can't see the video on this blog (because sometimes it won't show if viewing on a mobile phone), you can watch it on YouTube here.
