I spent my late teens living on a smallholding in rural Shropshire. We had chickens, sheep and dogs, an orchard and huge vegetable plot all set in acres of land for exploring. Having lived in large towns up until this point I loved this new lifestyle. After university I moved to Bristol. A vibrant city home to Banksy, BBC offices, 2 universities, and birth place to trip hop bands Portishead, Massive attack it is a great city to be young in as there is always something to do?.

However since having my son I have found city life quite claustrophobic and have been dreaming of the small holding, homestead life again. I would absolutely love to give my son the opportunity to experience open land, apples, fresh eggs and mud!! Obviously you can get all of these in the city but it?s not quite the same?..
So this has led me on my Instagram obsession of finding beautiful inspiring Homestead mama?s, so for the time being I can live vicariously through them. One such homesteader is Hannah aka @whispering_land. Her beautiful pictures are unpretentious as they are warm, earthy and so homely. I just want to jump into every picture and have been inspired to buy a number of cookbooks that I have seen on her feed. So I was thrilled when Hannah let me find out a little more, and even more excited when I read her answers?.. what a lovely soul she is.Their beautiful home is such a visual feast of earthy tones and wholesome loveliness!
