We met Simon the joiner on today’s #FarmerTime with Jake Freestone . We were so interested to learn about the work for a joiner, and how Simon uses wood from the estate Overbury Ent . Farmer Tom 🧢 🇺🇦

Great to see how in-depth the questions are from the students, truly bringing the curriculum alive!📒
