ABOUT US
We are four humans, one dog, one cat and a variety of chickens... for now...
 Scarlet (yes, really) is in charge of the garden side of things and writes the blog as well as the articles for the site. She is a green witch and grows herbs for making natural skin care products (which you can buy!) and home remedies. |
| Ian Merrill |
 Ian (tortured genius) is an author and artist. He is currently working on a series of paintings for exhibitions in 2008. Ian was a journalist for many years and has published two fantastic books, both of which you can buy, of course! You can see some of his most recent paintings on Ian's website. |
| Children |
|
  B (brain-box) and M (mad-monkey) are 9 and 6 respectively. They have duties on the smallholding such as chicken-chasing, egg-collecting and eating strawberries.
|
| Dog |
| Ellie (dog) and Corky (cat). Their main purpose in life is to steal food from dustbins, sleep and chase any wild animals which might be a danger to crops. |
| Chickens |
| The chickens. A rag-tag bunch of old birds who only exist to escape their wondeful Chicken-topia and hardly ever lay an egg. This tactic, however, may backfire on them if we decide they would be more useful in the oven. The chickens were the original inspiration for the very popular blog which Scarlet started in February 2007 The chickens have escaped! |
| WWOOFERS |
| We also have temporary members of the family: the wonderful wwoofers who come to stay on the Smelly Smallholding and offer us their enthusiasm and hard work in exchange for a few crusts of bread. Our thanks to them!
