Hi i'm Nicola from the north west of england (about 10 miles east of Blackpool) i'm married and have 2 young children Lauren (almost 3) and Sophie (almost 1).

We don't have much space where we are living now, but are hoping to move to a bigger (rented) house soon. If all goes to plan i would like to start growing my own veg, no idea where to start though. And hopefully get some chicken or ducks or both around easter time.

I have been lurking for a long time on this forum and it has always seemed like a very friendly and helpful place.

Welcome to ISH :flower:

Some-one here can answer any question you may have (though rarely me :lol: ), so ask away. There's nothing we like more than spreading ISHness :icon_smile:

Hello Nicola :wave:

I'm quite new here too, but I don't think that stops me saying welcome!

Hi there and welcome :wave:
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!
