I'm sure many of you are already familiar with Rachael's work but just in case you're not, here's a quick biog about our newest ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Wales Nature & Outdoors blogger:
Rachael Garside was born in Cardiff but had a yearning for a life beyond the concrete streets of Canton...
After working as a reporter in the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Wales newsroom, she took up an unexpected job offer to become an agricultural correspondent.

It was a steep learning curve, but never one to do things by half, she lived for a number of years on a dairy farm in Pembrokeshire, then a small village in rural Carmarthenshire.
Rachael now lives in Carmarthen and presents Country Focus on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Wales, as well as making radio and television programmes as an independent producer.
Rachael has subsequently embraced all elements of rural life, and has the muddy wellies to prove it!
You can follow Rachael and and Derek Brockway's blogs from the next week and the online team will also be there, taking photos each day - so keep checking the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Wales Nature & Outdoors website for updates.
