Kate and her husband Ludo have recently taken over an ex-council farm in the beautiful Wye Valley in Monmouthshire. You can now book a place on a wide range of courses including Wild Food Foraging, Curing & Salting Meat, Keeping Sheep, Starting with Pigs, Keeping Poultry and General Smallholding.
Later in the year we'll also be running courses in Rural Skills like Hedge-Laying, Orchard Planning and Planting and All About Trees. If you're a very keen would-be smallholder, or just someone who likes the idea of getting away from it all on a beautiful working farm - with an amazing lunch as well - then why not join us?
Kate has already started filming for her next big BBC2 series - 4 programmes broadcast live from Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island. Kate's already been in Iceland filming some of the video inserts for the live programmes - she had amazing weather and saw some incredible sights: like looking straight down into the crater of the volcano now known as E-15, the one that disrupted all the airplanes 2 years ago. Alright, it's called Eyjafjallajökull, but then you already knew that.
Kate will present the series with Professor Iain Stewart - the pair first (and last) worked together on the fourth series of Rough Science filmed in Arizona in 2003. This new series will give viewers "a unique insight into the life, impact and real-time activity of the powerful natural wonder" that is the volcano.
There's no BBC website yet, but here's a link to the BBC Press Release...
