Farming influencer kayaks on flooded land

Spring is the season of new beginnings and a fresh start.

But while we may see daffodils and hope for sunshine, the weather has remained often wet and dreary in Wales.

It has been challenging for farming influencer Natalie Davies, who found her field flooded by heavy overnight rain.

But after finding a kayak in the shed, she decided to have some fun with her followers.

The 28-year-old, from Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, gained thousands of online followers by sharing her experiences of working on a farm.

In a video shared on TikTok and Instagram, Natalie and her husband, Dafi, 29, are seen kayaking through an overflowed bank near Rose Dew Farm in Llantwit Major in the Vale of Glamorgan.

"We went outside and saw the field was completely flooded, which is not ideal for a farmer any time of the year," she said.

"We found the kayak in the shed and we came up with an idea to have a bit of fun with it. It was a joke and we decided to make light of a difficult situation farmers often face."

After posting the video, Natalie said she received positive reaction from her followers.

"I have a lot of farmers who follow my social media and they found it hilarious. They knew we were making light of the situation and they could empathise with us."

Before going into farming full time, Natalie worked in her parents' coffee shop in Cardiff. In 2020 she decided she needed a change.

"I looked at the job I was working in at the time and I thought, 'Am I really enjoying myself":[]}
