Greetings from Stroud

Post: # 69523Post Davie Crockett »

Hi all,

I've been lurking on this excellent forum for a while and I thought it was time to join in.

I've always had an interest in rural crafts and gardening. I like to brew wine and beer also.

Unfortunately I have to work for a living, I'm an Emergency Care Practitioner in the Ambulance Service. It's shift work which allows spare time to persue hobbies.

Hi and welcome Davie Crockett!

I have to tell you that I have a problem with your avatar though. I can't look at it without it making my eyes go all funny.

A big aussie G'day Davie Crockett. That avatar is driving me crazy. Makes me want to put on my 'coon skin hat and shoot it 'tween the eyes.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, I've changed the avatar for a side profile of myself. :shock: It was bugging me too.

Hi there and welcome! :wave:

And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free

But damn it how happy we'll be!
