Hi, I'm Lynn living in Allenheads about 12 miles from Hexham, on an 11 acre smallholding. We have 2 spaniels, 20 chickens, a polytunnel, veggie garden, bees and sometimes some pigs too. About once a month I travel to London for a few days

I loved my sit with Ian, Red and the chickens. Ian is really clever and energetic, Red is sweet cuddle bug. They’re both adorable and great walking buddies
