Well lad's, I thought it might be interesting to see what folks
do for a living/or did for a living!
I'm sure it will be quite varied.
Myself, I've worked amongst the big outdoors all my life,
farming, Forestry and fencing from when I left school.
I'm a Countryside Ranger now and have been for the last 17yrs,
basically a glorified Estate Worker.
All the same types of work, including, tree work, walling,
fencing,hedge laying, footpath work, countryside woodwork and
some education work.
I also teach rural skills, walling, fencing,hedge laying to
groups like schools, foreign groups, under privileged kids,
which is very rewarding.
I'm glad I can represent true rural life and not some
Countryfile slant on things.
Would be interested to see 👍
