Finally its my turn (if you reckon I've got any of this stuff wrong then please add your comments)

I am engaged to the lovely Sharon aka Shaznee, we are getting married this summer and we will return from our honeymoon ready to go straight into harvest. Sharon and I met at a young farmers do a couple of years ago, where she fell for my boyish good looks and natural charm.

I have been back on the farm full time for 5 years now. I studied at Harper Adams University college, where I got a degree in agriculture with marketing. I got this degree following a more practical route than usual instead of doing A levels, then going to University. My agricultural education started when I was 13 I went to Brymore school in Somerset (see link from this website) which is a school based around all things rural and there was a farm which all the students were involved with, having to take turns at feeding the pigs, chickens, beef or sheep or milking the cows in the mornings before school, and again in the evening. I left Brymore with my GCSE's intact including one for agriculture and horticulture, then went onto Berkshire college of Agriculture. When I went to Berkshire, I was too young to go straight on to the National diploma course so I spent a year doing an NVQ and 1st diploma in agricultural engineering. The middle year of the NDA was an experience year so I took myself of to New Zealand on an exchange program with the Jersey Cattle Society, and stayed with some really good people out there, many of whom I'm still in contact with. I also went to Australia and worked on a massive 250000 acre station in New South Wales. After Berkshire i went to Harper, and started a Higher National diploma, this was supposed to be a 3 year course but because of my previous studies i was able to do it in 1 year. I then took 18 months out and did some more work experience I tried a spot of office work near London for 3 months where I enjoyed 1 1/2 hour journey to and from work! I also went to America to do the 2000 mile harvest, which was a great and interesting experience. I managed to fit some time in South America in while I was there too before coming back and topping up to a degree which I did in 18 months.

When not working or sleeping I sometimes manage to fit in other stuff I enjoy sailing Dad's boat which he keeps on the river Hamble, I'd like to go skiing every year but it doesnt always happen, and I do a wee bit of shooting in the winter months.
