Hi From Hastings

Hi
I have just managed to join after I originally tried at 8 am yesterday. The forum server wasn't sending out confirmation mail to be able to login.
Hopefully now I can take an active part in various discussions on here, as I have been reading a few threads to find what applies to me or what interests me most.
Self suffiency for me is partly non existant coz I am only getting to grips with it now, but I am planning on being more self sufficient in my everyday existence :)

Hi Ina
I notice I have Margo's pic as an avi and I know why. But I originally come from where she has a holiday home now-Fortrose on the Black Isle just north of Inverness. I grew up there watching the dolphins and porpoises at the point long time before the area became world known for dolphin watching.

Hello audiolink!

Have a look at 'you will be margo' at the top of this forum - all will become clear

Lucky you - beautiful area! I've been in Scotland for 11 years now and not seen a dolphin yet...

Been to the Black Isle, though - to visit the brewery!

Hi Ina
Here's a link to the wiki article on Chanonry Point where you can now watch the dolphins-accross from Fort George. Next time you are up north check it out- you will be pleasantly surprised.

What's the beer like? Not been home for years so missing out on the new things up there. There used to be a brewery in Cromarty at one time as well and also a rope factory - they grew the hemp at Castlecraig farm in Easter Ross


Hi marshlander
yes i know how the point scoring works - read it yesterday and i am trying to get away from that woman
Needless to say i left Fortrose long time before she went there-coincedence.........


Hi red and hi rosey-

What's the beer like?

Good! Well, it's a very subjective thing, taste, but I like it. It was a nice, small brewery with a family atmosphere when we visited - don't know whether they still are that small, I think they've become quite popular.
