Tonight I am ACTUALLY heading over to Leicestershire to both pick up a Jack Russell puppy from, AND interview, arable and beef farmer, Joe Stanley @JoeWStanley.

We talk all about his family farm, how he’s trying to reduce the use of ppp’s in his crops, their multiple-award winning English Longhorn cattle, the family’s diversification project of 19th century art, joining the army, flying a Spitfire, getting involved in agricultural organisations, and much, much more!

Check it out folks.. 

LONDON MARATHON 2019: As required by universal law, much like if you’re a vegan, if you’re doing a marathon you have to tell people about it. Well I’m doing the London one in April 2019, and I’m raising money for the incredible charity FARM AFRICA.

Between 8 February and 8 May donations in support of my London Marathon challenge will go to Farm Africa’s Coffee is Life appeal. Give before 8 May 2019 and all public donations to Farm Africa’s Coffee is Life appeal will be doubled by the UK government.

Your donation will support Farm Africa projects across eastern Africa, and the matched funding you unlock from the UK government will directly fund a Farm Africa project that will give women in Kanungu in western Uganda the opportunity to make a decent living from coffee farming.

If you want to see more about the AMAZING work they do please visit www.farmafrica.org and if you’d like to sponsor me the link is www.justgiving.com/fundraising/william-evans12 and from now until 8th May, the UK Government will match your donation – thank you!
