Why does a picture of Margo appear next to my message?

I'm MUCH more like Barbara...

Hi Alicej,

Everyone has a pic of Margo to begin with.

It changes with numbers of posts.

When we're grownup we can have our own.

Welcome.

PS

The spellcheck imp is sulking too.

Leeds

Leeds is alright, it has lots of green spaces and lots of housing co-ops. If you ever do visit check out the Common Place www.thecommonplace.org.uk

I'm very impressed to have had so many replies so quickly - are you all frustrated farmers stuck in office jobs? I want to run away with a circus but have to pay off my debts first so am sitting in front of a computer all day for another year or so.

When will I become Jerry?

Hi Alice, and welcome to the site!

Not from Leeds, either, and not a frustrated farmer stuck in an office...

Although I do sit in the office just now, I work in a farm environment, so I'm quite lucky in that way. Mind you, at the moment a nice, air-conditioned office seems almost tempting :wink:

They're gorgeous! Ducks are my favourite.

Actually I'm not always stuck in an office, I lead a double life where I work part-time in front of a computer and spend the rest of the time growing veg to sell to my neighbours.

Would love to work outside all the time though.

Have any of you heard of Tinker's Bubble? I was there a few weeks ago and am pining for the forest and the peace and quiet again already...
