Hello from the tippedy top of new Zealand

[Darroch]

Hi, I thought I should join as we're trying to be a bit self sufficient.
I live on a very small farm, we have some cattle, chickens for eggs, ducks as pets because I can never find their eggs and a lovely organic veggie garden. I almost live in my veggie garden.
We collect rainwater for all our water needs - we have to as we're not on any mains water and have a septic tank system. We've got a woodburning range that heats the house ~ and free wood ~ cos our trees keep falling down.
I love it when we can make dinner and it's all come from us.

Hi

Welcome to another Kiwi!

It looks lovely. Did you go up in a helicopter or do you have a conveniently located extremely tall tree?

[Darroch]

hubby went up in a small plane! I'm a wee bit scared of flying so you can see me down on the deck if you look really closely!
