The couple have become local celebs after the success of Shepton Mallet's first community radio station which Heather set up in 2017 and a number of Tobi's crazy sounding projects like rescuing a tractor from the pacific ocean, which was featured on the BBC.

They will have a larger friend & family celebration, complete with their sausage dog teddy, and purple tractor Frankie- in Shepton this summer.

Heather & Tobias have recently purchased a small holding near Shepton Mallet, where they will create a care farm & wellness project, and run workshops aimed at respite, education and inclusion for neurodiverse young people with SEND and their carers.

They have set up a Community Interest Company Wedgwood Wellbeing CIC, and will be inviting the community to get involved.

Heather , who's children both have complex disabilities, continues to hold free drop in SEND Carer Parent advice sessions monthly at The Art Bank - the next one is Friday 24th April from 11- 1pm .

She has just completed her NCFE Level 3 Understanding Autism Certificate, through Somerset Skills & Learning.

Tobi has a number of Tractor information and Restoration books out now including a funstep by step guide "How To Restore A Vintage Tractor" order at [email protected] and together they present "Fun With Tractors" Podcast on YouTube @fatherandsontractors
