Nestled in the scenic countryside just outside the village of Llangadog in Carmarthenshire, is Garry Williams' farm. This land has been proudly owned by his family since the 1950s. Garry, a dedicated hill farmer, works tirelessly during the busy lambing season, which is one of the most challenging times of the year. With 700 sheep in his care, Garry and his family are stretched to capacity as they assist in the birthing process and ensure the health and safety of the new arrivals. Their teamwork and dedication are a testament to the strong bond that exists in a farming family.

The Brecon Beacons, with their towering peaks and rugged terrain, can be both formidable and breathtaking. However, for Gruff Rees, a beekeeper, and his wife Angharad, this part of Wales is a place they proudly call home. Their small farm near Dryslwyn serves as a sanctuary for their honeybees. Gruff's commitment to environmentally friendly farming and beekeeping practices ensures that these tiny creatures play a crucial role in the local ecosystem. Despite the challenging weather conditions, Gruff remains optimistic about the future of his bee farm in the Brecon Beacons. The honey produced in this wild and untouched area is bound to be something special.
Overall, Wales offers a diverse range of locations, each with its unique charm and natural beauty. From the grandeur of the mountains to the serenity of the coastline, this wondrous country continues to captivate the hearts of all who visit.
