Hello from South Shropshire

Post: # 206658Post oldjerry »

Been doing the self-suff thing since the early 70's,inspired by my old man.Long term pig keeper(British Lops),free-range poultry,and milking goats.Leaving 6 acres and common grazing in two months and shifting three young children,two dogs and three goats to Italy .I'm getting on a bit,need to 'hobby' farm so will rent out this place for a bit till we're sure the kids are settled.Got a place over there,but we will miss the weather(not).Nice to meet you all I'm newish to the IT thing,never had time before,but you're never too old to learn.

Hi there and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

What an adventure! (I also have visions of you, the kids, the dogs & the goats in a car driving to Italy, very 'Carry On'!)
