Going way back, I was in a tiny office and tapping away at a computer - I don't miss those days. There is nothing like being out in a field, meeting people, talking about all things food (and drink), meeting loads of interesting people, learning new things. I've never been too fussy about what I eat.
Where food comes from matters to me. It makes sense to me that food shouldn't be flown around the globe to get to my plate and animals should always be looked after in the best possible way. I'm hoping we can showcase and champion this more.
I'm always learning and every year something new comes to the fore and new challenges come up. It's a great job! There's even something special about those moments late on a Monday when the last few of us are doing a final litter sweep across the field., with GBFF even that is actually fun!
Away from the events, I've gone all Good Life and now live in the countryside. I try to grow my own veg and even make the odd jar of Damson jam. After my recent "midlife-crisis trip around India" I've become a Buddhist and got into yoga, maybe I'll become a vegi and stop drinking one day too. Well, maybe next year :-)
