Anyone who knows me knows I love animals and nature and all things wild - but not many know where my love of wildlife came from. Having been a town dwelling child for the first six years of my life, my parents bought an old farmhouse when I was about 7 years old. It was wonderful. The most magical place my young self had ever seen. A farmhouse that looked like it belonged in Wuthering Heights, old outbuildings, surrounding fields and even a little 'burn' (or stream). It was a whole new world.
