We moved to the countryside and gave up our stressed-filled city lives in exchange for wellies, nature, fresh air and sustainable living. We’ve called this project My Home Farm.
After a year-long house hunt, which took us 14,500 miles across the length and breadth of the UK, we found our perfect house in rural British countryside surrounded by rolling hills and lots of wildlife, and so far there hasn’t been a dull moment.
We moved into a renovated Victorian farmhouse (built around 1850) along with a 2-acre field and our lives have changed completely. The plan is to be as self-sufficient and eco-friendly as possible, with a focus on personal health and well-being.
Most things are still very new to us and there have already been numerous challenges that we’ve had to overcome, but progress has been steady and many lessons have been learnt.
Watch and follow us as we discover home DIY, sustainable living, making our home as green, eco-friendly and sustainable as possible, growing and making our own, along with our success and mishaps.

Professional background
I have been the managing editor of some of the world’s best known technology, lifestyle, travel and health publications. Before moving to the countryside, my wife and I ran an award-winning publishing and communications agency for almost 15 years.
During this time, I’ve worked with and directly co-ordinated communication campaigns with companies and brands such as BP, Unilever, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Cummins, Danone, Guerlain, Lancaster, Nestle and Michelin.
In the healthcare sector, we dealt with all the largest pharmaceutical companies: Abbott, AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Bayer, Boehringher-Ingelheim, GSK, Merck, Mundipharma, Novartis, Pfizer and Sanofi.
My experience allows me to blend company, product and brand expectations with objective reviews and write ups that readers and viewers can trust. This balance will be key to the success of My Home Farm.
