About Me

Welcome to A Smallholder's Diary!

My name is Mark Daymond and this is my blog about my attempts at living as self-sufficient life as possible. I live on the East coast of England in rural Lincolnshire with my wife and two children, a few chickens, two goats, two geese, six cats and two pet rats. In my blog I like to share my experiences of growing vegetables and fruit, keeping our assorted animals, recipes, book reviews and pretty much anything else related to self-sufficiency and rural living.
