Newbie from Denmark

[Didde]

Hello all,

I just wanted to say a quick "Hello" and shortly introduce my self :)

Im 25 yrs old, female and living in an apartment near Copenhagen (Capital of Denmark, for those who does not know) with my husband and our 3 little rats. We are looking for a house so we can get started on self sufficiency, a small balcony is not enough for us ;)

I was introduced to the lovely world of self sufficiency when I traveled in England, 2 years ago. I went to "The works" and found "The new book to self suffiecency" by John Seymour, and I was hooked emidiatly!
I have always loved preserving food and making something from nothing, and this book revealed so many new things I could try.

The way I found this forum was actually a search on Facebook: Self Sufficiency :)
I cant wait to explore this place!

Hi Didde and welcome!

3 little rats? Is that children, or really rats?

[Didde]

Hehe, no they are actually rats or fancy rats :) We are not allowed to have cats or dogs, so rats were the closest thing :)

[Millymollymandy]

Oh! They're probably easier and cheaper than keeping children!

[Didde]

Yes, I suppose you cant put the children back in the cage when the don't behave

Hiya Didde, welcome to the world of Ish!

Hey, I'm just wondering - are you the first from Denmark on here?

I've been to Denmark twice, only very briefly each time, but I loved it... Especially the way everybody finds it perfectly normal to cycle everywhere!

Hi there and welcome! I know what you mean about the rats ....er sorry children - there are times I'd love to put mine in a cage!

I dont know yet, I dont know how to search by Country, it could be fun though, but I dont think there are so many Danes, at least young ones, who has this interest/lifestyle, but you'll never know... I would like to be surprised!

Yes we are a biking country, well at least in the Copenhagen area, the traffic is so dense in the city that you overhaul the cars by bike :)
But I guess its more easy than most countries, Denmark is very flat :)
