Hi from wet and windy Wales

Hi All
I am regarded by some friends and family as a bit of a weirdo hippy type!! I grow some veg and make my own bread and biccies, and want to be able to do more.

I feel your pain, we went for a long weekend over there and it nearly drove me daft all flat and no animals or hedges I actually cheered when we saw the first cow on the way back home.
Hobnobs and choc chip are my biscuit specialities. My scones as just like mother made if your mum is 4ft with a beard and a battle-axe!
