Farmers Weekly are looking for Rural Couples
Farmers Weekly are looking for rural couples to speak to them about their relationship for a new series in the magazine. Whether you’re in a new relationship or have been together for years, they’d love to hear from you.
The articles will be light-hearted and not too intrusive, so you won’t have to reveal anything too much. Questions will include how you met, what you love about your partner and what makes countryside love different to love in urban areas.
If you’d like to see your name in print, email Tim Relf at fwfarmlife@rbi.co.uk to find out more.
Starting a New Life in the Countryside
Back in August 2009 we received a success story from a lady called Gina who had met the man of her dreams on Muddy Matches. Since then Gina has married her muddy match, Mark and has moved her business Gina Lillcrop Designs to her husband’s farm in Wigtownshire. Mark even recommended Muddy Matches to a friend who also went on to find love with a woman he met on the site. So we were delighted to read more about Gina’s successful move to the countryside.
Gina shared the story of her move to the farm with the website Dumfries and Galloway What’s Going On? and spoke about how well she has taken to becoming a farmer’s wife, including gaining a new skill (driving the Massey 6499).

How Muddy Are You? – The Winners
Back in April we launched a competition to replace some of our How Muddy Are You? quiz questions with ones suggested by our members. We had lots of brilliant entries and strangely enough more than one person suggested our favourites so we’ve had to award more prizes than we first planned to.
First prize winner
The first prize winner is Emma, who has won a year’s free subscription to Muddy Matches for her roadkill question. A special prize of 1 month also goes to Paul, who suggested a similar question.
If we’re honest, we did call the authorities to check that it is legal to eat roadkill and if the commonly held belief that “if the person in front of you hit it, you can eat it” is true. The police informed us that you are not breaking the law by removing a dead rabbit from the road, but “you must be wary of your own safety”. If you hit a pet or a deer you must report it to the police!
So, back to the point, Emma’s winning question is as follows…
You accidentally run over a rabbit in your car. Do you:
- Check that it’s dead.
- Have it for dinner.
- Phone the vet.
- Drive on in tears. › Continue reading
