ABOUT

Welcome to Fields and Fireboots — my journey towards a more sustainable, creative, and resourceful life. Alongside working in fire and rescue, I live with my family on our smallholding in the UK. From our farmhouse, I’m exploring how traditional rural skills and modern technology can work together to create a lifestyle that’s not only practical but also, sustainable and purposeful.

 

Here, you’ll find glimpses of my smallholding life:

 

• Horses, riding and land management 🛻

• Brewing manure tea and natural gardening solutions 🌱

• Starting out with beekeeping 🐝

• Baking sourdough 🍞

• Forging and welding in my workshop 🔨

• Exploring equine and rural safety from my professional background 🐎

​

I share the highlights and lessons of this lifestyle through my blog. Each post goes deeper into the how and why — whether it’s a step-by-step guide, a behind-the-scenes story, or a reflection on what worked (and what didn’t).

 

Fields and Fireboots is about more than just my journey — it’s about inspiring others to experiment, create, and live more sustainably, no matter where you start.
