About the host
Hosted by Katrina Forrester & Huw Evans
Hi,
Originally from Australia (Britt Parents from Stoke-on-Trent still live in OZ) my husband Huw and I stumbled across this derelict farm and just fell in love. Perhaps the massive specimen Red River Gum at the end of the driveway was a sign with the Cotswold Stone and just the warm feeling the place gave us as generations before us really put their heart and soul into the buildings and we are so lucky that all or the original buildings remain in situ. There are thirteen barns in total.
When we found her 12 years ago she was a skeleton of her former self and and we could not even see the outbuildings when we brought the place. They were covered in vines and scrap metal was all over the place.
A JCB was here for two weeks just clearing what we could not do ourselves!
So we set up home in a mobile home (for 5 years) now the mess is cleared and she is finally returning to her former beauty.
We are sure you will love the farm as much as we do and its our ambition to restore her fully and to share this wonderful place with others for generations to come.
We share the farm with a lama (Duke who loves selfies), a Shetland, horses and 4 dogs.
Look forward to meeting you, Best Katrina
