We love hearing from you, so here is your chance. Introduce yourself and tell us what makes you selfsufficient 'ish'. Go on don't be shy, we welcome one and all. You can also tell us how you heard about us if you like.
So I see the other pennylane hasn't posted for a while, which means I can return with my original username! Sorry if its really bad etiquette to have two different names - I promise I shall just use this one from now on!
Anyhoo, haven't been around for a while again. I've hardly been on the internet except for researching stuff and all that.
Since I was last here I had to give up my little allotment plot due to time and being so far away from it I was using so much petrol going back and forth everyday. I have plans for a small raised bed in the garden to keep my hand in, so to speak. They will have to be fairly tall raised beds and covered so my three hens don't get to the veg!
Well, I'm going to get re-aquainted with my long-lost friends... If you'll have me back that is!

sorry to hear about your plot, have you thought about the landshare website (I assume it's still going) you could maybe find someone with land to share close by or maybe approach your local council or church to see if they have a piece of unused land you could take over, either by yourself or with some others.

Our remote ancestors said to their mother Earth, "We are yours."
Modern humanity has said to Nature, "You are mine."
The Green Man has returned as the living face of the whole earth so that through his mouth we may say to the universe, "We are one."
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
