🎶🎶They said babe you gotta fake it till you make it and I did 🎶🎶

I kid you not at 18 I had NO HOPE no doubt between jobs been booted from college fired from every single office based job I attempted, I was quiet with no confidence and no direction, I had no self worth and I’m not just saying that I mean nothing. I used to sit at the bus stop outside the FG building in fulwood going home from yet another job that was ill fitting and hard hard hard work for a free bird like me I can’t even make my mind wrap around how much change has happened in 18 years for me to be not only in the pages but stood along side one of the best people I know. On the FRONT.

In 2009 i found my THING on a farm all thanks to the stars colliding at a party in Manchester at house. How easily my life could have gone down hill and instead I was whisked along for the ride of my life with Roy. The TINY chance of me even meeting Roy and then the even tinier chance that farming was going to bring me such joy and focus makes this an impossible story. I’m thinking of that person at a bus stop who had just been sacked from the Homeserve call centre for making plasticine models for the marketing girl to stick on her desk who looked at the FG building from the outside wondering what it was all about AND NOW LOOK my head is pickled.

I can’t thank enough for standing alongside me and elevating everything she touches and for being so kind, writing in my opinion one of the best articles to have come out of for 20 years 😉 and for standing in the pissing rain putting up with me drying my fringe.

This is a lot for me and I’m super proud, when people question the value of social media I will show them this. It’s given me the ability to excel at something and more importantly it’s given me a voice. I hope a few kids who feel useless can see this and know there is hope. You just need to find your THING like I have farming. #backbritishfarming #farmer #womeninfarming
