Mike Woolnough
Readers of Home Farmer magazine will be well acquainted with Mike who writes the very popular regular feature, Diary of an Urban Farmer. Mike keeps chickens and up to recently goats, on his allotment in Suffolk and he and his wife try to keep as self-sufficient as possible. His book, especially commissioned by us, Raising Chickens at Home for eggs and meat, is an ideal companion for anyone considering keeping chickens for the first time.

The Good Life Press recognised
We are delighted to announce that The Good Life Press has reached the second round of the BIBA’s 2009 in the category of Creative Business of the Year sponsored by Tinlegs. We recently attended an interview with the New Business of the Year judging panel, which went OK we think. Although with the benefit of hindsight we may have been better to leave the chickens at home.

The new monthly picture caption competition
We receive hundreds of emails from people who read the magazine and tell us stories of their successes and failures. Sometimes they send pictures and the following one really made us giggle.
Jason Ashworth and his wife Emma have obviously been saving their pennies because that does not look like Blackpool beach, but that magazine he's reading looks awfully familiar. The couple are just negotiating to buy an acre of land to compliment their existing allotment and chicken ranch.
A free £10 book voucher to spend online goes to the best caption for this picture. Keep them clean please.
