My Introduction to the Steemit community.

My name is Garth and come from a town in South Africa. I have had a very varied background. I was born in Lusaka Zambia and moved to Rhodesia (Now Zimbabwe) as a young boy. Grew up with one foot in the bush and one foot in town. I loved to take my dog and explore the streams and wetlands, catching butterflies and tadpoles. (This is where my love of nature started). After school I was drafted into the army for one year as a paratrooper. I then started my first job as a miner firstly in Zimbabwe, and then in the deepest gold mine in the world. I found this to be soul destroying and soon left to become a Jeweller an outlet for my artistic side and soon found balance in my life. Now after 30 years in the trade I can say it is my perfect job. But the call of nature still rings loudly in my ears and needs to be satisfied. I bought into a cattle farm in the mountains near my home because of its extreme beauty and bountiful diversity of flowers, trees, insects and animals. Galway farm has now been declared a Nature Reserve because of it diversity and need of protection. We also have introduced a herd of Indigenous Nguni cattle, arguably the most beautiful cattle in the world. Thank you for your attention.
