Hello there from Shropshire,
Just joined. Looking forward to meeting folk, virtually speaking.

I recently set up a smallholding sitting and house sitting service covering Shropshire, neighbouring counties and the Eastern parts of Wales (along the English border). Happy to look after any domestic farm livestock or pets (except the dangerous species like ostrich or wild boar - 'cos this would give my insurers the jitters!). I also look after children (Ofsted registered) if anyone wants help with the animals and the children whilst they go away for a short spell, or are ill. I am a keen gardener too! Bye for now. Yvette

Hello, Glad to see you joined. Be nice people, I reccommened Yvette here Ty Gwyn on here keeps wild boar (99%), and they are pretty calm animals, or at least his ones are. All he has to do is whistle and they come in. Landrace I find are the ones I have to watch my back with even more than boars (as in any male pig, rather than WB).
