One of his barns is dedicated to a private museum housing all the vintage equipment which he is happy to show anyone around. Whizz restores farming implements which you will see dotted around the farm grounds; also restoring and painting items for sale for those people who may like something a little different as very attractive ornaments around gardens, house fronts and driveways, anything from small ploughs, cast iron tractor seats, old lanterns, milk churns and much more are a lovely and unique addition in most gardens.
