Paddocks for Use

Corrine from Cambridge

We have a number of paddocks on a lifestyle block just out of TA with a number of fruit trees and we are currently running some sheep and a cute kunekune pig. We would be open to letting someone take over the use of these paddocks and they can fatten up their own sheep, in return for looking after… View moreWe have a number of paddocks on a lifestyle block just out of TA with a number of fruit trees and we are currently running some sheep and a cute kunekune pig. We would be open to letting someone take over the use of these paddocks and they can fatten up their own sheep, in return for looking after the paddocks i.e. spraying, etc. You are welcome to also look after the fruit trees and we would share the fruit. We normally give most of it away anyway. Ideal for a retired farmer wanting a project with the added bonus of having some land, animals and fruit. Open to suggestions. Thanks :-)

Cambridge has lost a man with ‘imaginative creativity'

Libby Totton Reporter from Cambridge Edition

Noel Johnstone, 1934 -2023

He wasn't a natural politician but he stood for Parliament. He built a crystal radio set as a child and later built a speed boat in his bedroom. And he lived all but just over two years of his life on a Cambridge farm.
