I think thats a brill idea, thats how me and my OH have learnt all our skills, by being shown by someone who does it everyday, thats how he learned all his farming skills. From the really 'hen cymeriadau' (old characters) he has learned hedge laying, walling, shearing by hand, sheep managment, weather prediction, hunting, pest control, and general observation of the land. Of course along the way we've learnt to drink beer and tell stories too!! Of course there's always a trade off, I teach you, whats in it for me?? but this attitude is healthy, and a swapping of skills, produce or labour is often the way its done here. |
