Hello and welcome. My introductory message

Hello, I just joined this obviously august body of people and would like to invite any-one with Dexter cattle, Sussux hens and Gascoigne pigs to contact me as I am looking for advice and to buy.


I have a holding in the Pyrenees with woodland, rivers, thousands of hardwoods, rich pasture and views that make you think of heaven. Carving out a workable 'farm' is fun and rewarding, but always an ongoing project. Have been living here for about 15 years working as an Architect and builder, mostly in the South West of France. Skilled professionally and vocationally I am available for any questions re planning or design or regulations. All aspects of building from A to Z are within my experience and practical knowledge. My specialities are designing and building new houses and restoring old traditional character property, and all that goes with it. Hope to hear from you.


The picture of me is taken in the Sahara - with my background I caption it "just waiting for the cement".
