Hello from another North Swindon newbie

Post: # 207038Post MClan »

Hi
stumbled across this site whilst trying to figure out what we were foraging. Still not sure about one but hubbie is still here to tell the tale. Found apples plums and blackberries yesterday. We are a Scottish/Dutch household and as both nations are known to be tight with the pursestrings lol.....we have 3 kids aged 3,2 and 5 months and 4 chickens. We use cloth nappies, full-term breastfeed and Do babyled weaning. I work fulltime and hubbie is setting up his own business. Hopefully one day we will have our dream winefarm and grow and forage most things. In the meantime we are living out our own version of the good life.

Hi there and welcome! :wave:

Thank you for warm welcome everybody.

I don't get the chance to reply frequently but it's nice to know there are likeminded people about.
Let me know if you have any foraging plans!
