About Us
- Greenwood
- Devizes, Wiltshire, United Kingdom
- Hello there, we are Shawn & Helen Scott. We were lucky enough to aquire 3 1/2" acres of land in Wiltshire. It been a hard slog over the last 12 months as the land was in a terrible mess, basically it was being used as a rubbish tip. But after a lot of work from us, the kids and family we have managed to clear half of it. Our objective/purpose is to create our own small holding and live off the land. To most it is a dream, but to us we are going to make it a reality.

We have had a very productive day down the land today. Parents are down and they gave us the drive to carry on clearing. Dad and Helen made a nice fire and started to clear all the rotten wood. Mum spent all the day in the Polytunnel tending to all the tomatoes and peppers. Me, as usual clearing all the rubbish. Special finds today include, slow worm, toad, Adder and proof that we have rabbits. Luke go get me traps!!!! We'll see if they are productive.
