Business Description
|
Originally called "Houmoed", the 50 hectare farm just outside the picturesque little town of Wellington, was bought by "Kelpie" Barns shortly after his return from active service in North Africa and Italy. Unable to settle down to a nine-to-five routine in the city, Kelpie and his wife, ballet dancer Yvonne Blake, decided to go farming! The wrench from sophisticated urban life to hectic rural chores on a run-down farm was character-building to say the least. Kelpie was a prize-winning amateur photographer and champion ballroom dancer, while Yvonne's ballet career was set to take off after pre-war seasons in London and Paris with a company of emigré Russian dancers, the Ballet Russe.
