Well, I’m delighted to tell you that the new webinar programme has commenced and the first session went really well.  AS with any new project I did encounter a few teething problems but thankfully they are all now resolved and all is running smoothly!

The first session included a wonderful meditation with our animal guide.  We also connected with beautiful Anne, the elephant, and her energy was truly awe inspiring, especially considering the life she has experienced over the last forty years or so…

If you missed it however, do not fear,  you can download the recording on our Webinars page, just read the instructions on how to download a recorded session, then click on the Session One Paypal button and follow the guidance.  It’s quick and easy and costs just £4.99.

REMEMBER: If you sign up and for whatever reason you can’t then attend a live session, you will automatically still receive the link to download the recording of it, the day after.

SO do come along and join us, our next session is on TUESDAY 26th April 2011 at 7pm (GMT+1)

We are exploring the 2nd and 3rd keys to animal communication, grounding ourselves and connecting to a higher power.  We will also have a practice session with our next wonderful guest animal teacher and a question and answer session at the end, to give you the chance to ask any questions and get my direct response.

I am very excited to share this with you, using this new method of learning, and really hope you will find it stimulating, exciting and FUN!!!

Blessings and love to you all. Julie. XXXXX

It takes something of a different breed to give up the comfortable 9 to 5 lifestyle in idyllic Kent trading it in for a windswept, cold and somewhat precarious new life in the highlands and islands of Scotland – all for the love of a few chickens and sheep, but that is exactly what we did in 2008.

With 2 dogs, 4 cats and a rabbit in tow, Tracy and I headed north and have never looked back. We have always wanted to work with livestock, it’s an indefinable urge that lies somewhere deeper than just a job or keen hobby. We felt passionately (and still do) that we didn’t want a commercial business nor indeed to play at farming but to achieve a sustainable and more wholesome life – that brought us closer to nature and the land and animals that we share our life with. Somehow we wanted to make a difference.

Desperate not to fall into the trap of wanting the Good Life and seeing it through rose-tinted glasses, we did our homework before we began. Digging away in the mountains of information and archives about animal breeds, we were shocked to find just how many rare breeds of domesticated animals we have already lost and just how many more continue to be under threat. Now, the north of Scotland might not be the depths of the Amazon but we too were losing breeds, diversity and heritage before our very eyes. The Caithness cow and the Orkney pig being some of the examples of those that have disappeared that spurred us on to do something about it. It was then that we decided to dedicate ourselves to doing something about it and the seed of Saving Rare Breeds was sown.

Scarcer than the mountain gorillas in Africa – the Boreray sheep (left) was the first breed we decided to concentrate on. Fewer than 300 individuals existed in the summer of 2008 when we proudly and rather nervously took ownership of our founding flock.

Working closely with the Rare Breeds Survival Trust and specific breed societies our aim is to help to remove as many rare breeds from the watch list as possible. After negotiating the maze of paperwork always associated with livestock, we achieved charitable status in the Autumn of 2009 giving us the chance to spread the word of our work to others and to fundraise to help rare breeds. There are at present over 50 breeds of pig, sheep, goats, cattle and horses on the watch list and our main aim will be to reduce this number.

Inevitably our flock has grown to include several more rare breed sheep; at present we are home to Boreray, Castlemilk Moorit, Shetland and Soays with provision being made to accommodate Portlands and Herdwicks shortly.

Rescue animals are another area we are keen to work with further. Our latest rescue being some abandoned sheep two of which were in lamb and the fellow on the left, Noah, no Ears. Noah lost his ears to an infection and is one of our animals that is available for sponsorship.

As word of our work has spread so too has the breadth of our rare breeds to include poultry too. The Scot’s Grey, Ixworths (pictured below) and Marsh Daisies will be a focus for 2011 and we have successfully developed a hatching programme which we hope to extend to other rare breeds in the future. Another 2011 scheme is Project Pig and 2 British Lops will become the base for a future breeding programme for this the most endangered of pig breeds.

2010 also saw one of our greatest achievements in securing Julia Kendell as Patron.

The guys and gals of BBC’s DIY SOS are a rare breed in themselves, but the gorgeous Julia Kendell in particular. The inspirational interior designer who quite simply makes others dream homes come true has a special place in her heart for wild things, and that doesn’t just mean her fellow presenters and handy men on the must-watch show.

Julia, a keen naturalist, advocate of self-sufficiency and passionate about animal welfare, is highly excited to be working with us and our supporters we have both at home and world-wide given the wonders of cyberspace and social networking sites which is where contact with Julia was first made.

Julia is to spearhead our work, as Patron.

Why save rare breeds?

Surely, rare breeds have become just that because they an uneconomical, difficult to look after or simply outclassed by modern breeds?

Rare breeds are absolutely perfect for the modern small-holder as they have effectively been designed to work best as hardy animals fulfilling the specific and often demanding needs of our climate and terrain.

Even on a larger scale, rare breeds have added values that have all but disappeared from more modern breeds. They generally suffer fewer health issues, are good mothers rearing sturdy and healthy offspring with minimal input, and thrive in harsher conditions on poor pasture, harsher climates and terrain and can digest a wider range of plant material that would simply be unpalatable to many others. Many rare breeds are used for precisely this purpose in conservation areas.

Our aim is make some of the breeds of livestock we have common again – we really would like to see the rare part of our name disappearing over the years and for the diversity and heritage of our traditional livestock to be valued in the farming community and within associated industries too.

Maintaining the diversity of characteristics and traits we find in rare breeds can also potentially provide us with options in the future too. With an ever-changing landscape and climate our rare breeds may help us to find solutions to changes we face in the years to come too as well as safeguarding our heritage for future generations.

So what’s happening at Saving Rare Breeds now?

We are really excited at Saving Rare Breeds as we have just launched some really brilliant new opportunities for young people to get involved with saving rare breeds themselves. By sponsoring our animals and keeping track of them, what they are up to, videos of farming and loads of great info too. Individuals, schools and community groups can get a first hand account of what it is like to look after livestock and how they fit into our daily lives. Who knows we might just encourage some of the young farmers of the future. To find out more, go to;

A new addition to the sponsorship will be our Easter chicks. We will be starting the incubation process at the beginning of April and will be hatching over the Easter weekend. The whole process  from beginning to end will be recorded on your sponsorship page.

http://www.savingrarebreeds.org.uk/Sponsorship.html

Farming whilst caring for the environment is something we care strongly about and follow organic principles. Once we have found a new home we will be pursuing full organic accreditation. In the meantime we are carrying out a 12 month research project with natural wormer market leaders Verm-X into its efficacy. Progress and results will be published on our website.

Also new in 2011 is our e-newsletter which provides news on what’s happening at Saving Rare Breeds and also includes articles on sheep, pig, chicken keeping and also vegetable gardening from some true experts in the field. And the story of Ghillie Mcdog our Deerhound undergoing sheep dog training.

2011 also sees our search for a new home intensify. We have outgrown our current location and we urgently need more space.

How To Communicate With Animals Intuitively
Weekend Playshop with Julie Lines
25-26 September 2010

Preston Capes, Northamptonshire, England.

If you’d like to come along to our next Playshop now is the time to book. Until 1st September the investment is held at £150 – after it increases to £200.

This weekend promises to be great fun with a herd of horses, cats, dogs, chickens and much more than that!

Get in touch to confirm your place and we look forward to welcoming you to the Playshop!

I found this wonderful ten minute video via one of my wonderful friends Emma. It holds such truth and encapsulates so much, please do take a break to watch it and share it with your friends and family if you like it too. This planet we all share is to be treasured, honoured and respected, all of life.

Click here to view the embedded video.

Hello everyone,

As you are probably aware I am supporting WSPA (The World Society for the Protection of Animals) and raising desperately needed funds to prevent the extinction of the precious Orang-Utan.  Please would you support me in changing the future for the Orang-Utans and ourselves. We can turn things around if we work together.

There are two simple things that you can do personally to make a positive difference.

One – research and buy products from organisations that buy sustainable palm oil. Try Google and rspo.org and www.palmoilaction.org.au all hold useful information.

Two – make a donation to get your hands on a copy of the “hot off the press” CD being made…. as I type this message, a group of highly talented musicians called Musikscool (including my wonderful partner David Bell) are creating from scratch, in a day, 5 unique tracks all written for and about the Orang-Utan.

I’ll send out a short video soon to show you what they are up to.  If you would like a CD then all you have to do is send me a message with your postal address and make a minimum donation of ten pounds to the link below and we will send you your copy for you to enjoy.

Please help… If you don’t want the CD please do make a donation, whatever the amount, it all makes a difference.

Thank you.

For those of you that have known me over the past decade, yes it’s that time again! I’m embarking upon my fourth charity challenge!

This time, a cause that is especially close to my heart. Organised by the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA),  I am raising funds to protect the Orang-Utan from extinction. The challenge is The Borneo Adventure 2010.(this link gives you a flavour of the last trek in 2009) If you would like more information I can send you some further information about the wonderful work being done.

To give you a flavour, this challenging jungle trek takes place between the 5th-15th November across Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, one of the least visited parts of the dense rainforest.  We will be raising funds desparately needed to protect the precious Orang-Utan from extinction.  This great ape shares over 96% of the same DNA as humans and its numbers are dangerously dwindling at around 50,000, a decline of over 80% in the past 100 years.

Mass deforestation for logging and creating huge palm oil plantations are the main cause of this incredible animals demise, something that we can and must change. Orang-Utans are being killed, maimed and/or orphaned by the people/organisations that are profiting from this unsustainable money making operation. For those of you that saw the film Avatar, I’m sure many of the images created in this film give a glimpse of what it must be like for the animals affected by this hideous devastation to our precious planet and their natural habitat. Not to mention the damage we are causing to the balance of our beautiful planet. We must readdress this balance to ensure our future generations survival. The sad truth is that this is not an over dramatic claim, it is a statement of fact.

WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GET INVOLVED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, PLEASE?

OK, so that said, here is what I would like you to consider doing in order to support these vital fund raising efforts;

I have organised two sponsored abseills in different locations;

• The first on Friday the 13th August (yes, Friday the 13th, an extra excitement/challenge!!!) at RAF Alconbury, Nr Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.
• The second on Thursday the 19th August at a wonderful Viaduct, near Plymouth, Devon.(once you commit, I’ll send you a further e-mail with full details of the location and how to get there.)

Each event will have two sessions that you can attend, either 1-5pm (ask your boss for time off!) or 6-9pm.

All you need to do is;

• Agree to do one (or both!) and raise a minimum of £50 (for each if you do both!)
• If this is really not your cup of tea, enlist friends/family to take up the challenge in your place – please pass on this mail to anyone you think may be willing to get involved.
• If you can’t do either then please consider making a donation directly to the cause by visiting my fund raising website link at Virgin Money Giving (all of the proceeds go directly to WSPA, as they are commission free)

My aim is to get 40 people to abseil for each date (including myself of course!) which would raise a minimum total of £4000. This would make a HUGE difference to the work that WSPA would be able to do, if for example you know that it costs £100 to rescue an Orang-Utan and just £50 to feed one for two months. A small amount of this (£400 plus VAT) would go to the safety instructors for their time but at a much reduced rate.

If you are willing to get involved in the abseilling please contact me by e-mail and I will send you out full details and a sponsor form. Confirm back to me which slot you would like and which date/venue. Then, using the sponsor form attached, get to work finding people to sponsor you or you could just make the donation yourself, its entirely up to you!

PLEASE WOULD YOU LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO COMMIT TO ABSEIL BY THE 21ST JULY LATEST. This enables me to gauge numbers and to secure the services of our wonderful safety instructors. Please do commit to this once you agree as you can imagine it is two days out of our safety guys working week, that they could be earning their normal rates, plus it would be a real shame to turn away willing people if the sessions are seemingly full, only to find out too late that there are spaces available.

I will send out confimation to all of you that do commit, nearer the time of your abseil, to give you all the important details, like the venue address and parking, a list of who is attending and to remind you about the essentials!

If you would like to do the abseil and yet you are a first timer or a little apprehensive, please do give me a call or e-mail and we can talk further.

Thank you so much for reading and considering this post, I really hope you will be able to come along and enjoy a very special event for a very special purpose and help to make a positive difference on our precious planet. Thank you whether you choose to abseil, find others that will or donate directly, your efforts will be contributing to a very special and worthwhile cause.

Just one last thing to be aware of. I am away on holiday between the 4th and 14th July so please don’t worry if you don’t hear from me during these dates, rest assured I will contact you on my return!

Warm wishes,

Julie

The production team felt showing the piece on Monday may well have created an an unfair bias towards her, with regards to the whole eviction process.  The producer assures me they will be showing it but haven’t decided on a date yet.

As soon as I hear I will let you all know though. So sorry to those of you that showed up to watch, especially those of you that don’t like the show!

Much love and light to you, Julie XXX
